The Catheters: "Nothing" Video

Video description: ?Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Catheters! Though the words may have you hoping your caregiver is scrubbed and sober, these Catheters are nothing like a cheerful nurse with a plastic tube. They are, in fact, more like a garbage truck crashing into a burger joint: drums stomping like the footfalls of helpless diners running for their lives, guitars all stinky and full of chunks, bass a diesel rumble, and a guy in the cab of the truck hollering about how pissed he is that somebody put a burger joint in his way. Add some kids wiping out on banana peels beneath a hail of flying beef and you?ve got the basic idea. It?s what the young folks call the Rock and Roll, dig? Being relatively young folks themselves, The Catheters bring real energy to a genre that's too often about going through the motions.? (Courtesy Matt Wright ? Gas Huffer) Formed back when they were just toddlers (1995), and taking a band name completely at random (??cause it sounded punk?), and generally creeping into the consciousness of a very tired rock & roll community, these bratty, young wonderpunks present a powerful punk & rock synthesis as filtered through the sensibilities of kids that don't know any better.

SF IndieFest trailer "Smok'd"

Haley is a young stripper in a world of drugs, prostitution, and violence. Her boyfriend J.J. is a petty thug tired of nickel and diming his way through life. With a huge payoff in mind, he forces Haley to seduce a strip club patron named Big Game James. An ambush quickly follows, but it all goes bad and ends with J.J. bludgeoning James. He takes the phone, a .38 revolver, and Big Game's black 1964 Chevy Impala. Now a wanted man, J.J. slips on his black sunglasses to protect himself from the hostile elements and proceeds to drag Haley down the sleazy streets, past the trashy joints to the scuzziest depths of the City by the Bay.

Haley meets a lonely cab driver named Mark and sees a possible way out of her desperate situation, while J.J. grows even more reckless and destructive. Meanwhile, Big Game James (who was terribly forked over) staggers back upright, and covers himself with bandages. Thinking of nothing but revenge, the bloodied mummified thug embarks on his quest for revenge on the couple who let him live.
