Nannas are bringing you gender-rage with a spritz of glam.

Directed by London based Issey Penwarden, comes a music video full of bad bitch OAP culture. Thigh High's singing duo wreak havoc and glamour from their Nanny wagon vehicle. in a true ode to their former lives as Thelma and Louise.

On their adventure we gradually discover the rest of the entourage (band) who play live and brain in a neon pink grungy warehouse.

Thigh High “we both grew up so inspired by the gender non-conformity of our grandmas, and this song celebrates the brazen strength of the iconic regional women who raised us. The ones who would put on a posh voice for the telephone, and then swear the moment they put it down. This is a fantasy anthem about what would happen if they, one day, just said ‘fuck it’ and did a Thelma and Louise.”

Isolde Penwarden "I had so much fun working with Thigh High on the storyline for this promo. Pulled together on a shoestring budget just before lockdown, I am forever indebted to the amazing team. Nannas on a Rampage is the first in a trilogy of visuals for the band, so keep your eyes peeled for parts 2 and 3. To be continued..."

Thigh High, fronted by a power duo consisting of Tom Rasmussen (pronouns: they/them) and Hatty Carman (pronouns: she/her) have been gigging on London’s queer music scene over the past five years and have garnered a devout following in the process.
