Band Stunt-Performs Single On Subway… Using Their iPhones
The music industry is cutthroat and even when a band has finally “made it” and land a record deal, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are getting heard. Leave it to the tech-savvy to come up with a nerdy yet very clever outlet to get their sound out there to a receptive audience.
The circle of friends that is Atomic Tom has really proven that a band can still make claim to DIY fame these days. Hailing from Brooklyn, they spent four months recording their premiere LP out of a tiny apartment, utilizing the natural reverberation of hallways, closets & bathrooms to give the record a signature sound.
After the home-recording effort was inevitably shut down by the cops, Atomic Tom spent the past four years refining their sound & roster adding Philip Galitzine, Eric Espiritu and Tobias Smith to lead vocalist & writer Luke White’s initial effort.
Blending electronica with catchy alternative pop beats and a “larger-than-life” arena rock presentation, Atomic Tom is something to behold. However in a recent stunt, the band went small scale (to put it lightly) in an effort to get noticed & go viral. If you were riding the NYC B train on Thursday Oct. 14th, you may have been privvy to this experiment:
Love or hate Apple, it’s pretty astounding to behold the power in one’s pocket anymore… especially when put in the right hands. “Take Me Out” was originally premiered on MTV’s The Hills in 2009 and you can find The Moment on iTunes & Amazon
