The Jellybricks, Rock Band 2, and Rolling Stone

Here’s a cool story that we shared tonight on the show about The Jellybricks and their music video for “Ruin Us.” The band created the clip using Rock Band 2, and internet buzz for the video has escalated to a nod from Rolling Stone magazine, who called it “the first truly clever viral music video of 2009.”
Bassist/singer Garrick Chow gave Rolling Stone the lowdown behind the clip:
“As a band, after rehearsals, we sometimes get together and play Rock Band, and I was just noticing the camera angles and the shots that are used, that we can make characters that kind of look like us. There’s these great sets in the game, it just looked really cool.” “Instead of taking cameras out into the Pennsylvania winter trying to figure out a video, we basically spent a week playing the game, capturing it in my computer and trying to edit it all together to make it look like we’re actually playing the song.”
