Staunch Moderates, a Colorado-based band, are not only broadening their creative scope but also setting a higher example with the release of their vibrant music video "Bigfoot’s Football Live, " a perfectly weird and wonderful creative mash-up of hip-hop bling, off, the, wall sports news, and cultural critique. What started as an Aspen-rooted intellectual grassroots movement led by Greg Simmons and Bo Persiko has now developed into an entire artistic ecosystem that mixes music, film, satire, and social conversation to make a space in which discussion and artistic work can live side by side.
Their initial goal to depolarize American politics and initiate a civil discourse was the reason behind the Staunch Moderates movement's mission, which first got noticed and later became visible all over the US. Their mode also changed along with the evolution of the project. Their records, The First Realm, Mission Peace, 2023, and Staunch Moderates Experience Live, are not only soundtracks of different eras but cultural diaries where the message of social and political unity is artistically delivered by means of narrative, laughter, and the mixture of genres that are reminiscent of hip-hop stage works. To the present, their character DJ Staunch has evolved into a potent emblem of the group's distinctiveness: a commentator, entertainer, and cultural amplifier.
More than that, their personality is identified even more in "Bigfoot’s Football Live." The song is a stadium anthem powered by hip-hop style, with verses being delivered by rappers Casanova Ace, Kyle Knight, and the ever-present DJ Staunch. It energetically revives the made-up franchise “The Bigfoots,” which is really a team imagined with the same loud bravado as any real NFL powerhouse. Playfully and cheekily, the authors of the song throw phrases such as scoring touchdowns, demonstrating grit, and the chase for a championship, thus creating a connection of parody and genuine excitement that is successfully performed only by the Moderates.
Indeed, the video beautifully portrays the idea. Present with the pomp of cheerleaders, hailing the performance, sideline theatrics, and DJ Staunch at the fulcrum of it all, it is like a halftime show that just goes with the flow of the music performance. The deliverance is on the go, the sights are bright, and the vigor is at its peak; all are working in concert to achieve the effect of the sports event’s familiar excitement while at the same time introducing the hip-hop style character to the proceedings. The hilarious, overblown character of the mascot links all things, reminding the audience that this movement is just as enthusiastic about fun as it is about ideas.
Under the excited mood of the clip, “Bigfoot’s Football Live” continues to resonate with the movement’s foundational ideals of neighborhood, togetherness, and reaching out across the divides. As always, Staunch Moderates used culture as an entrance to more profound discussion, be it through politics, humor, or, now, football. In addition to rap and satire, the use of sports as a medium not only allows them to reach out to new audiences but also bridges the divide between the fans and the skeptics of each other’s fields.
The group’s exploration in a variety of new avenues, such as music, live shows, film, and more, makes it quite obvious that one thing is constant in the Staunch Moderates world: they are at their best in the intersections. They do not see conflict; rather, they discover harmony between them, and instead of walls, they erect bridges. The video of “Bigfoot’s Football Live” is not simply a recorded performance but a welcome message that invites you to be part of the Staunch Moderates, a movement fueled by artistic creativity, good manners, and the mutual thrill of being a small part of a greater whole.
