Wavves x Patrick O’Dell ‘Post Acid’ video

Lo-fi punk dude Nathan Williams, aka Wavves, has collaborated with Epicly Later'd creator, Patrick O'Dell, for his new music video Post Acid.

The video pays homage to a film about a caveman-turned-Californian, Encino Man.

Shot in LA, it features an alien – played by pro skater Kevin 'Spanky' Long – who meets the band, discovers skateboarding and rocks out at a gig.

Says O'Dell: “The video is loosely based on the plot of Encino Man but with an alien instead of a caveman... I feel like we’ve almost made one of those fan videos where an anonymous person out there cuts up a movie they like and fits it together with a song they like and uploads it to YouTube. This is one of the those videos but the band happens to star in the movie.”

Check out the Making Of video for more SoCal radness.
