TYPHOID ROSIE is BACK with their seductively captivating new video for "Baby I Want You." Offering up a unique blend of sultry Indie-Rock for your ears, the band entices with a steamy hint of Punk Rock. With their newest release in tow, Hearts Bleed Goodbye, the band has been garnering the praise of fans and critics alike.

For front-women Rosie Rebel, the inspiration of the video hits close to home. Inspired by a real-life stalker during her stand-up career, when it came time to making the "Baby I Want You" video, Rosie used her impressive professional experience from working on movies in the art department to enlist the help of some very talented friends and got to work on her band's latest endeavor. Rather than portraying more stereotypical images of tied up women -- like a true feminist she decided to reverse the stereotypical image roles and decided to do all the stalking and kidnapping herself. She called up her strapping actor friend Geronimo Frias who she met while working as prop master on a feature film called Obamaland, and also rounded up her art department pals Zackery Irick and Kira Bursky who without hesitation drove up from the Carolinas for the adventure of working on this this video.

Rosie not only co-directed the video with Kira but she also Production Designed every carefully planned scene to torture her poor friend Geronimo; from her basement Geronimo altar, to the kill tent, to her creepy tea party, and milk bath. Rosie also used her infamous bra-sterpieces innovations such as her Juicer Bra which have been talked about in dozens of interviews including a plug on the Tonight Show by Heidi Klum. Are you ready to surrender?....
