BLACK LIPS RELEASE NEW VIDEO "NOC-A-HOMA" IN CONJUNCTION WITH VICE AND RAY-BAN'S NEVER HIDE NOISE
A DOWN-IN-THE-DUMPS NATIVE AMERICAN CHIEF REGAINS HIS PRIDE AND GOES TRIBAL PUNK
Today VICE & Ray-Ban premiere the video for the Black Lips' raucous two-minute homage to Chief Noc-A-Homa, the famed former mascot of the Atlanta Braves
from the 1950s until 1986. Chief Noc-A-Homa is one of baseball's most
beloved mascots who was best know for emerging from a tepee in the
bleachers to rally the hometown crowd into a frenzy. In their song, "Noc-A-Homa," the Black Lips, Atlanta natives and diehard Braves fans,
tell the story from Chief Noc-A-Homa's point of view, a proud Native
American who has been humiliated and made into a caricature of his
ancestors for the amusement of drunken fans who pelt him with boiled
peanuts.
In the music video, the Black Lips partner up with director Sandy Kim to produce a telling of this tragic story. In the Black Lips'
version, Chief Noc-A-Homa enacts revenge on all those who humiliated
him, donning his old costume and handing out sweet justice. This time it's the Chief who comes out on top.
