Music Video

The music video for Dirty Boots was directed by Tamra Davis. The video features a boy and girl who meet and fall in love in the mosh pit while Sonic Youth play on stage. The video was shot in a club in New York City. The girl is played by Lisa Stansbury of Neptune, New Jersey. The band selected her for the video after seeing her dance at a Dinosaur Jr. show at Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ.
