I directed this music video for the all-girl band Pulsallama. Part of the original line-up, Ann Magnuson had recently left the group and went off on her own (she does it all, sing, comedy, performance). Pulsallama grew out of that fertile scene at Club 57 in New York's East Village in the early 80s. Club 57 alum include Kenny Scharf, Keith Haring and the Hairspray team of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. The women of Pulsallama are all stars but a special mention goes to Wendy Wild who died prematurely in 1996. She was a local legend in the East Village who among many other things helped start Wigstock. That's Wendy as the hunched "old woman" who plays "steel drum" towards the end of the video. Directed & edited by Paul Dougherty.
