FEMALE SPEAKER: So I'm online
checking out this new music
video for Darwin Deez, an indie
band from New York City.
I'm watching this video,
realizing I know that guy, I
know that girl.
I know both of the dancers
in the video.
I'm so cool.
I know them!
JOSHUA PELATZKY: It was just
pretty much for fun.
We didn't know it was going
to do anything.
It was just for us.
And then MTV UK got a hold of
it, and they really liked it.
And so then it just
started to spiral.
They picked it up as the
official music video, which is
pretty rad.
Michelle Dorrance, who's
in it, is the bassist.
Miles, the director, he
sometimes does drumming for
Darwin on the road.
So he's in it as well.
Charlene, who was in Darwin's
other video, "Radar Detector,"
we wanted to bring her in.
The last guy, Garrett, they knew
him from Stomp because
the three of them have been
in Stomp together.
We were all friends,
and it happened to
fuse together perfectly.
People liking it or disliking
it, I think, is a part of art.
And I don't like everything
I see.
And sometimes I love it,
and other people
hate it and the opposite.
I like good criticism
and bad criticism.
I think it'll make me grow.
I think it'll make
videos grow.
I mean, who doesn't love a good
debate on YouTube, you
know what I'm saying?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Obviously, other
than the dancing and
choreography, the great thing
about this video is the music.
They're coming to New York City
on July 15 for a concert.
I put a link below.
And if you're really into
Darwin's music, you can check
out their website and their new
self-titled album on iTunes.
