Saw this @jenc‘s tweet re: this video of a group of girls playing MGMT’s “Kids” entirely on iPhone apps.
The group of ladies who are performing the song on their iPhones and iPod Touches are a British quartet called The Mentalists. The band, which was formed in 2006, cites MGMT among their influences alongside Jimi Hendrix Experience, Flaming Lips, and The Beatles.
The apps used on the video were Ocarina, Retro Synth, miniSynth, DigiDrummer Lite.

INCREDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! apple needs to make this a commercial.
it’s interesting and all, but sounds pretty horrid.
you mean the sound from iphone apps, recorded on a crappy video camera, played on youtube doesn’t sounds good?
Regarding MGMT and for your info Modern Age Girl:

yes. I’m not sure what else i could have meant.
Did you think it may have good sound?
no. dude, why do you care so much anyway. I said it sounded bad and you basically agreed by pointing out the obvious reasons why it sucks. Let it go.
oh snap, the spicegirls rule.
I saw this amazing sunset and i took a picture of it with my cell phone camera. the picture was awful, not sure why.
yeah…ok. thanks for being such a hero.
get a better cell phone.
the point is they weren’t trying to make good sound. it wasn’t the point. like taking a picture with a cell phone camera.
my brother sent me this video and I nearly threw up
what a wonderfully inventive way to ruin a great song
