Video: Tristen, 'Matchstick Murder'

Posted by Steve Haruch on Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 9:26 AM

You know how Tristen got herself on the cover of the Scene? Not by playing nice, that's for sure. Watch her take down members of Eureka Gold, Non-Commissioned Officers, And the Relatives and, well, her own band, in this whimsical dinner party homicide whizzbang, shot by Jeff Wyatt Wilson for the Sept.-Oct. 2009 issue of American Songwriter (Jack Whiiiiiiite! on the cover).

As everyone here probably knows, this is basically how the local rock scene works, except that people never dress this nice for dinner.

A skull and crossbones on a bottle amusues me just as much as a dollar sign on a sack of money.

Good job!

My death scene was significantly shortened, which is fine. But somewhere, on some cutting room floor, exists about 13 minutes-worth of me doing the finest acting East Nashville has ever seen. OK, not really. Great job, Jeff.
PS: Tristen and Larissa did all of the art direction and costume design themselves. Those girls have skills.

I think more local rockers need to die. It's a trend that I'm into.

@d. patrick: better than all the cats playing the part of musician in 5 Points on any given night? ZING! (You threw the underhand pitched softball... I had to hit it)
Killer video.

Get the hipsters in the crosshairs, and take them down.

Too bad everyone dies at the end. I was really looking forward to seeing how things progressed. Holla T! Awesome video and thanks to @d.patrick for not air drumming the beat to "Cowboy Jazz" while dying.

Progressed huh? Like, finishing cleaning the floor... seeing who can eat all of their blue potatoes first? (Insert cheeky smile here)

The lighting in this video is phenomenal. Combine that with the top-notch styling and color coordination... it's basically an eye-gasm.

Thing is, that's really what Eric Lehning looks like when he eats. I'm not sure he even knew they were filming a music video.
