Synopsis

Luscious Jackson perform "Here" inside a roller rink while skaters race around them and compete in a rough-and-ready roller derby match. The band members take part in the action, balancing their musical performance with an improvised sporting challenge on the inclined rink. The video's loose, kinetic energy matches the song's buoyant groove, while the contrast between the band's cool composure and the chaotic skating creates much of its humor and visual appeal.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video was made for "Here," a single from Luscious Jackson's 1994 album *Natural Ingredients*, and helped give the song a wider audience in 1995.

• The band reportedly had to learn roller derby in a single day before taking on experienced skaters during the shoot.

• The rink was built or staged on an incline, making the skating sequences especially difficult to perform.

• Vivian Trimble was reportedly sideswiped by a larger skater during filming and was taken in for observation afterward.

• "Here" was also included in the cultural orbit of *Clueless*: a Squirmel remix appeared on the film's soundtrack.

• The song later appeared in the Nickelodeon series *The Adventures of Pete & Pete*, in the episode "Dance Fever," where Luscious Jackson perform at a school dance.
