Video of the Week: Band On the Run–Literally

(Reprinted from Paste magazine)

People do some crazy things while they’re in traffic; shaving, putting on makeup, reading a book, curling their hair — you get the idea. But a couple of Russians have taken what’s possible to do on the highway to an unprecedented new level with their mobile rock band.

Observe as the guy who took the video, driving down the Russian highway, comes up on a motorcycle with a rather large passenger pod attached to its side. As he moves to pass it, it turns out, lo and behold: There’s a guy playing a full drum set and a guy playing an amplified electric guitar on the platform, rocking out in hardcore fashion as they speed down the freeway.

They don’t sound all that incredible as far as technical chops go, but if what they’re doing isn’t rock ‘n’ roll, I don’t think anything is. (By the way, we’re not sure this is legal, so we don’t necessarily recommend trying it yourself.)
