Team Queen is a music video for Triple Creme directed by Leah Meyerhoff.
A Planet Out Award finalist, Team Queen is a gender-bending, fire-breathing, tassel-twirling music video for the queer post-punk band Triple Creme starring the best of New York burlesque. Team Queen has screened at dozens of film festivals worldwide and is currently airing on LOGO.
The new girl in school is thrown into a topsy-turvy madhouse of high school hellcats. The cheerleaders are drag queens, the nerds are nymphomaniacs, the punks breathe fire, and the prom band is none other than queer post-punk phenomenon Triple Creme. Featuring the best of New York burlesque: including Murray Hill, Julie Atlas Muz, Tigger, and Scotty the Blue Bunny.
Murray Hill — Principal
Molly the Dolly — Prom Queen
Julie Atlas Muz — Burlesque Dancer

Scarlet Sinclair — Burlesque Dancer

Paper Magazine writes "They’re here, they’re queer, and they’re ready to rock. The grrrls in the post-punk Brooklyn band Triple-Crème are not afraid of a little heavy bass or some catchy guitar riffs. They’re also not afraid to kick your ass." and Christa Martin of GT Weekly says "This colorful romp in high school antics and edginess is a wild ride of a music video."
Elaine Mak of New England Film said that "award-winning director Leah Meyerhoff has built up a large list of accomplishments as a filmmaker." and Flavorpill writes: "post-punk lez rockers Triple Creme enlisted the brightest and most buoyant of New York's burlesque scene to star in the new music video for their single Team Queen."
