Feel free to file this one under “awesome.” Indie band, moe., who I’m sure you’ve never heard of, has performed a live version of their song “Crab Eyes” – using nothing but iPads. See this amazing video after the jump.
The American “jam rock indie band” (unfortunately I don’t fit into skinny jeans, so I’m not able to tell you what that means) got together to re-work one of their songs to be played only on iPads. At the beginning of video, they dedicate the song to the late Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs. The tablets are used to replace everything from bass guitar, lead guitar, drums and even a xylophone. The song was performed live at the band’s annual “moe.down” festival in New York.
The band’s lead guitarist, Al Schnier, describes their music in the following way:
It’s an amalgamation of a wide variety of the history of rock, all regurgitated and recycled through the eyes, ears, hands, whatever of the guys in our band and all of that with a sense of adventure, a sense of humor, also a constant desire to push the envelope. All in this arena of taking chances, improvising live, and making things up on the spot.
What’s even more amazing is when you listen to the original version of the song. Crazy good.
