Jesus Chrysler Supercar to Release Explosive New Video
Arizona’s alternative rock legends, Jesus Chrysler Supercar, are poised to take 2025 by storm with the release of the music video for their latest single, Get Out Of Dodge. While the song itself debuted last Friday to an enthusiastic reception, fans can look forward to the official video—directed by visionary artist Richard Nihil, aka I Am Hologram—premiering this Friday on the band’s YouTube channel.
The video marks a innovative evolution for Richard, who leveraged cutting-edge AI tools and a collaborative process with the band to bring their dynamic sound to life visually. Get Out Of Dodge, described by lead singer Mitchell Steele as “PURE Jesus Chrysler Supercar,” dives deep into themes of confrontation and choice, brilliantly capturing the band’s essence.
Nihil’s connection to Jesus Chrysler Supercar began in the most unexpected of places. Years ago, at the now-shuttered Rogue Bar in Scottsdale, a mutual fan of both Nihil’s solo project I Am Hologram and Steele’s then-band Gladhammer introduced the two artists. At the time, Nihil had no knowledge of Steele’s earlier work with Jesus Chrysler Supercar, whose 1990s domination of the Phoenix alt-rock scene included sharing stages with legends like Radiohead, Deftones, and Cheap Trick.
Fast forward to late 2024: Steele’s Facebook post seeking someone to create a music video for free caught Richard’s eye. Eager to build his portfolio using AI Video technology, Nihil jumped at the opportunity. “I didn’t start out with any idea of what I wanted to do,” he recalls. “I just tried to bring the lyrics and energy of the song to life with visuals.”
Crafted using LTX Studio and guided by ChatGPT’s cinematic insights, the video is a testament to the innovative possibilities of modern technology and artistic vision. The man they call “the Hologram” describes the experience as a significant leap forward in his innovative path. “It was a serious step up from the videos I’d made before,” he says. “This project felt like the start of something bigger for me—a medium I never considered until I just did it.”
The process was collaborative and iterative, incorporating feedback from the band to refine the visuals. He aimed to capture the rebellious energy of Get Out Of Dodge while honoring Jesus Chrysler Supercar’s storied legacy. “The ultimate test will be whether the fans dig it,” Nihil says. “That’s how I’ll know if I’ve done them justice.”
Get Out Of Dodge marks another milestone in the triumphant resurgence of Jesus Chrysler Supercar. Following a two-decade hiatus, the band’s 2024 comeback reignited their legendary status. The re-release of their iconic albums—Supercar (Hay Bailer), Latterday Speedway, and Land Speed—introduced a new generation to their groundbreaking sound, while their explosive single Two Sticks (Dynamite) garnered nearly half a million global streams in just two months.
Continuing their tradition of collaborating with top-tier talent, the band enlisted Grammy Award-winning Chuck Alkazian (Soundgarden, Eminem, Imagine Dragons) for mixing and Scott Hull (Nirvana, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine) for mastering. These collaborations lend Get Out Of Dodge the sonic firepower to match its raw, unrelenting energy.
Looking ahead to spring 2025, the band plans to release a brand-new EP, their first in over 25 years, promising to deliver yet another chapter of electrifying music. Stay updated on all things JCS by visiting their official website and follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and Bandcamp.
