In case you missed it, the unknown New York band Atomic Tom are having a breakout week because of this impressive stunt. They've created an amazing video, with a catchy (and unconfirmed) narrative. It goes like this: they had their instruments stolen so they were left with just their cell phones, gumption, nimble fingers and subway fare. Why not perform with just iPhones on the B train?
Even if the story isn't totally true, even if the audio was re-mixed later (checking on just how much), they still do a pretty impressive job playing those little touch screens. For the spectacle of it, the stunt is fast becoming a viral marketing case study showing the power of combining talent (nimble fingers), tech (iPhone apps) and novelty—doesn't hurt that they edit it like an Apple ad either.
