A music video from my late ’90s band, Trailer Trash UK - Smell of Success
I just ran across an old music video from my late ’90s band, Trailer Trash UK, on YouTube. Thanks to the folks from the Art Institute of Philadelphia for putting this together. And somewhere, there’s an Art Institute music video for my other band, The Subverts, and the song “Ubbie Dubbie”.

Michael Broussard (aka Michael Subvert) in “Hoagie”, a Philly-themed anthology feature
Watch for me in the upcoming Philadelphia-themed anthology feature film “Hoagie” from Pennsylvania People Productions. I play Richard, a man with extreme OCD.
From the IMDB listing: “An anthology feature highlighting the city of Philadelphia, and the diversity of the people who live there. The five stories, written and directed individually by each member of Pennsylvania People, intertwine over the course of one night in The City of Brotherly Love.”
My section of the film was written and directed by the very talented Josh Phillips. My thanks to Josh for allowing me an incredibly high level of collaboration on the Richard character. The entire experience was both enjoyable and artistically rewarding.
See you all at the premiere… keep checking this site for details!
