June 12, 2025 – France’s rising rock star Lucie Sue’s announces her debut album, Battlestation, out August 29 via Sphynx. To celebrate, she’s released a kitschy, high energy video for “Ride the Wired Wild Tiger,” featuring Steel Panther guitarist Satchel.
“‘Ride The Wired Wild Tiger’ is an absurd tutorial on songwriting clichés,” says Lucie Sue. “It’s satirical and meant to poke fun at bands who just copy-paste from other musicians.. We all do it to some extent; we’re definitely inspired by what’s come before but subtlety is key.”
Shot by Rémi Capdeville in a dramatic Basque Country quarry, the video fully embraces over-the-top camp; imagine bargain-bin Power Rangers flailing through a zero-stakes battle with DIY effects that would make Spielberg cry. It’s chaotic, ridiculous, and brilliant.
The single follows a series of striking videos, including the aggro-hockey energy of the “Battlestation” clip to the introspective, feminist-powered “Hush.” Battlestation is available for pre-order on limited-edition pink vinyl, CD, and digital formats via Luciesue.com.
