Saw these guys last night - SO MINDBLOWINGLY AWESOME!!! they have rabid fans and a great live show. Lotta talent in this band - they are going to go far.
man i saw this vid on a local music video channel here in Austin, Tx. simply fell in love immediately. Glad to see it's up and running on youtube! Thanks for the post!
oh my god everything about this video is perfect. the song is incredibly cool, the lyrics are awesome, the vocals, guitar solo's, bassline, keyboards drums, everthing. and the video is awesome too. really well edited.
Jack... I had you for a Spanish TA two semesters ago and knew you were in a band, but... I only wish I had listened to you then and knew. I caught this on ME last night and feel like I've stumbled across a goldmine. Keep up the awesome work. Can't wait to catch a show soon! Travis
seriously jon keep it up, you're miles better than anything you normally get. It's not just well done with the timing down to near perfect, or the clever original ideas, but you throw a bit of humour into the equation also. I would love to see a two hour film from you, I'll be checking my sub box waiting for it =]
@DrummerGirlMAC Hey! Sorry I don't use my personal myspace, I meant the band's myspace! I definitely remember you asking though! Here's the list! I included weights because on these handmade cymbals the same model can vary in weight a lot, so it's a good thing to know since different weights sound different. Istanbul Agop Tradition Dark Crash 18" 1466g Bosphorous Traditional Thin 21" ride 2210g
awe lucky and i doubt they will come to new york unless they come to new york city i live like 3 hours away from there omg i really want to meet them haha
@DrummerGirlMAC I honestly don't know where it is! I just show up and they tell me where to go. Something about " George's (1st floor of LBJSC)" at Texas State. Go to the show at The Parish on Friday instead though, it'll be WAY WAY more awesome, I promise.
HI Hats: Top hat: Istanbul Agop Sultan 14" 1044g Bottom Hat: Sabian AAXplosion 14" Crash around 800ish g I Think. Weird choice, I know, but it makes the hi hats really really articulate. And then I have a little 6" Zildjian Zil-Bel off to the left, it's nice to have a really bright BINGGGGG every once in a while. A bunch of hardcore drummers use these, I blame my hardcore background ;)
amazing video! can't help but wonder how many takes something like this must have taken. theres so many different costume changes and switching back and forth
It was about 8 hours of shooting. Probably about 4 takes for each chorus and verse. The ending took the longest cause we had to repaint the walls and get all the people into the box and pumped to rock out.
We did, we would shoot all the stuff in one orientation, then shoot the other orientation, but you'll notice in the final chorus there are new spraypaint designs on the walls that we added. That's what I meant by repaint.

This band should make a comeback and play these old hits. Was a nostalgic time during my childhood growing up in Austin when they would play at sxsw
Thanks so much for doing this for us Jon, you're the best!!
Much love,
The Bright Light Social Hour
I always have to listen to this song a couple times in a row, spectacular awesomeness..
I wish this version was on Spotify :( still love the album version tho
I initially found this video a few years ago and just ran across it while listening to MGMT. So glad i found it again!
Badass, just love this track. Freakin' rockin' yall!

I love you guys. Especially that sexy drummer!
We did, we would shoot all the stuff in one orientation, then shoot the other orientation, but you'll notice in the final chorus there are new spraypaint designs on the walls that we added. That's what I meant by repaint.
This what you get when you're hungry, long on talent and short on cash. Brilliant.
Well done.
