In Foster the People’s new clip for “Houdini”, the band tragically gets trampled by their stage and die within the first 10 seconds. Their shady record label won’t stand by this though, and make the band into marionettes, who develop some pretty stellar boy-band eqsue choreographed dance moves. How else are they going to finish their video shoot, and make it over to the El Rey for a sold out gig?

I’m glad that with all the success the band has achieved over the last year, they have never lost their dark humor and insanely creative ideas for music videos.

Foster The People - “Houdini”

OK Go - Needing/Getting

The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they’d play the right note no matter where they were struck.
