The Kitty Kat Gang is watching. (Wink.)
"Me-Ye-Ye-Yow!" follows five glamorously brilliant women running a very real, very functional counter-surveillance operation across the hills and rooftops of Riverside, California — using open-source, decentralized, off-grid communication tools that exist right now, are available to anyone, and do exactly what they do in the video. This isn't science fiction. It's a reminder that knowledge is power, and that the people — all of us — have more tools at our disposal than we're usually told about.
Every piece of equipment in this video is real and was operated correctly on camera. We just didn't leave it on the mountain. (More on that below.)
Shot on location across Riverside, CA from behind the wheel of a 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1LT. Feminist, furious, and technically meticulous.
The second single from our forthcoming 4th studio album — following last year's "One Massive Hit." Full album announcement coming soon.
Wielding the Radio Atlas — a real, one-of-a-kind prototype device he designed and built himself. Jason is the inventor behind the Radio Scout, a handheld GPS unit, and a prolific maker and fabricator whose work lives at the intersection of electronics, invention, and art. The Radio Atlas is not a prop. It works. And it will be available for sale — follow @hardlyhumanfx for details.
