MGMT. Who Iz Them?

Are MGMT the coolest band on the planet, or just two more obnoxious Americans?? Hell I don’t know, I was hoping you would. In which case, time to dust off the ‘Cool or Otherwise Testometric Thingamy’ (last used when Arctic Monkeys took over MySpace) and input some raw data;

Are they another band fresh out of stage school?

No, but they did meet at college. Hailing from Brooklyn Andrew and Ben (for tis they) met on campus and developed a reputation as performance art provocateurs, winding up the student population with regular 15 minute noisy and chaotic electro art happenings.

Loops turned into songs and happenings turned into tours, but MGMT still feel like a band that got a record deal entirely by accident and are playing along for the ride (funny how the best bands are often the ones who aren’t trying to be one).
