I don't need 5 guitars... I need to get 5 people to help me play the guitar.

Seriously, these guys don't suck... check out their other videos.  They might be my favorite YouTube band (right up there with Pamplemousse).

Watching the recent Cameron Crowe Pearl Jam documentary, I was surprised to hear that the band had been torn between making money and "being like Fugazi." I was compelled to go back for a nostalgic look at my favorite post-punk band.

Fugazi -They refused to give interviews to any magazine the advertised alcohol or tobacco, played at all aged venues, and turned down a $10M signing deal with Atlantic records.

The lyrics kick ass too!

"languor rises reaching, to turn off the alarm and there's never so much seething that it can't be disarmed. you just stop it up, pass it on, shove it to shelf it, to leave it off and turnover. lounging against your weapons, until your muscles find lock in the ease of that position, a residue of tremor passes as some cherie amour suggests that maybe it was time to smash things up but just stop it up, pass it on shove it to shelf it, to lead it on and turnover. i'm only sleeping"

This starts out pretty slow, but if you can give it 10 minutes or so he'll eventually get you pulled in (or at least he eventually pulled me in).
