Chiddy Bang! They're Pretty Much Amazing

I heard another Chiddy Bang song today and had to find out what they're all about- basically they're this philly hip hop group that takes popular indie tracks and lays down some lyrics to them. Here's how they describe themselves:

"Chiddy Bang is a four piece hip-hop/electronica outlet from Philadelphia. Currently attending their first year of college, they posses a musical maturity that is far superior to the teen-pop cliche. Chiddy Bang blends hard hitting lyricism from front man Chidera “Proto” Anamege, original electronica afro-beat and jazz influenced production from keyboardist Noah Beresin and drummer Zach Sewall, and additional production and vocals from guitarist Pat Braz.”

Chiddy Bang have their own jams too which you should check out- but I'll share with you their MGMT and Passion Pit covers. Both are sweeeet! First year of college? damn- I'm loving how indie and hip hop are just moving closer and closer together

MGMT official video for Kids

As per their tweet last night- MGMT released their music video for Kids at midnight! It's pretty cool- on their website they talked about how Kids is the first song they ever wrote- pretty cool. The video was a little overdue but worth the wait. Can't wait for some new music from them.

back in rehomo

awww- rehoboth- hard to believe it's been a year since graduation, my 3 week stint in rehoboth, and then off to iowa w/ the obama campaign. reminds me of the time i fell in love w/ mgmt.

it's about time they release some new music, dudes and dudedettes. at least people still cover/remix the shit out of them. say what you want about katy perry- but she at least listens to good music- i like her cover of electric feel. and also here's a great mash up w/ coldplay and daft punk called "kids in technicolor"
