The actress, 63, makes a cameo in the visual for her son’s new single “I’m Alright” as a grumpy woman checking acts in for a Battle of the Bands competition.
The clip begins where the music video for “Another Celebration at the End of the World” left off: a group of different Wolfgangs have been ousted from Mammoth WVH, and have started their own group, Mammoth WWW.
Both bands are competing in an upcoming Battle of the Bands competition, and the members of Mammoth WWW will stop at nothing to make sure they can secure a win over their rivals (and yes, that includes some sly sabotage).
The single is featured on Mammoth WVH’s upcoming albumMammoth II, which is set for release on Friday.
