In June 2011, I excitedly told you about the Pittsburgh band 1,2,3. I raved about their sound, gave them a thumbs up and even boldly predicted that they would be one of the breakout bands of 2011. I thought it was a sure thing, but for
some reason that prediction didn't come true and it still boggles my mind to this day. Are my
ears deceiving me? I'm I trying to make them something they're not? They have
the sound and look that is "in" right now, so I'm hoping my glimpse
into the future was simply just a year too soon. Okay enough about my lack of
Nostradamusian (yes new word) skills, let's get to the video.
Today's MVM, "Scared But Not That Scared", is from the duo's 2011 album New Heaven.
It's a twisted, trippy and slightly creepy video that shows just how far some
people will go for their beliefs. Everyone wants to feel like they're part of
something and history has proven that with the Manson Family, Jim Jones,
Heaven's Gate and The Branch Davidians. This is 1,2,3's take on the subject.
Kids don't try this at home. Just enjoy the video, your Monday and remember to
live your soundtrack out loud.
I understand there has been some trouble with the video playing. If it continues to happen, here the link:http://vimeo.com/41862503
P.S. Because you were probably emotionally devastated last week with
no video, I offer an olive branch in the form of two bonus videos from 1,2,3. First, a live version of "Confetti" and the second, a live version of "Riding Coach".
