Retro-rocker Nick Waterhouse usually sticks to performing in an all-analog, vintage world, but the first official video from his debut LP finds the L.A. Luddite out partying amid a much more modern and colorful scene. In “Some Place,” he entertains a few Japanese salarymen by partaking in the timeless tradition that is a libation-fueled night on the town. Waterhouse’s influences are worn way out on his sleeve, sure, but this Phil Pinto-directed clip really captures the unbridled energy he’s hoping to channel from the birth of early rockabilly — a fine introduction to one singer-songwriter having a ton of fun with old ideas.
