Hasta La Gadget!

This one’s pretty good. Rock band has instruments stolen. Rock band improvises with iPhones. Subway-based jam session ensues. Atomic Tom is a Brooklyn-based band. The group signed to Universal and released its debut record for the major label, back in July.

As the story goes, the group’s equipment was stolen earlier this month–sadly not an uncommon phenomenon amongst touring bands. Thanks to a bit of resourcefulness and a group-wide devotion to a popular smartphone platform, the group managed to deliver a sitting room-only concert on the “B” train. Pretty good.

Now there are a bunch of cuts in the thing, which leads one to believe that the rendition of “Take Me Out” (not a cover of the The Smiths’ “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out,” incidentally) isn’t entirely impromptu.

Still, the thing has all the makings of a viral video–or, at the very least, a spot in the playlist ahead of some upcoming Apple event.
