Ty Segall Delivers Explosive Video for ‘Break a Guitar’, US Tour Resumes May 6
Enter Ty Segall’s vortex in the new video for “Break a Guitar”. Directed by Matt Voka, the visual features exploding guitars, a Scanners-like ending, and special guest appearances by Fred Armisen, Henry Rollins, Jack Black, and more. If there’s a moral to this mad video, it’s to stay away from today’s endless news cycle. Check it out below.
Ty has enlisted Matt Voka’s assistance on several of his music videos, including “The Singer”, “Thank God For Sinners”, “Goodbye Bread”, “Emotional Mugger”, and “Manipulator”.
“Break a Guitar” is off of Ty’s latest album Ty Segall, which is available now on Drag City. Ty and his Freedom band, Emmett Kelly, Mikal Cronin, Charles Moothart and Ben Boye, head back out on tour May 6, with three dates at Warsaw in Brooklyn, New York, May 17-19. The May 17 show is sold out, but tickets for the other dates remain, for now. Get yours here. For all of his upcoming gigs see below.
