Video Premiere: The Cuckoos new single I’ll Be Ur Tramp

In what now feels like ancient history, this past January, The Cuckoos put on a show at one of Austin’s most intimate venues, Cheer Up Charlie’s. On June 29, the band dropped a new single and video. The new clip depicts a man (Frost), sitting alone in a chair, in black and white with a vintage color TV playing footage from the aforementioned show.  This is the premise for the Austin-based The Cuckoos’ latest music video and single release “I’ll Be Ur Tramp.”
