The video for "Golden Age of Hustlers" is a 21st-century queer masterpiece and, according to Silas Howard,"an archival, inter-generational, collaborative labor of love." He should know, he co-directed the video with director Erin Greenwell (My Best Day, Sundance 2012) and, not only does the heartfelt video include many Downtown darlings and icons--such as Kate Bornstein, Merrie Cherry, Untitled Queen--it features singer Justin Vivian Bond front and center.

Howard explains that the the song and video is meant as a "queer time capsule set in the 1970s gay hustler scene on Polk Street in San Francisco."
