8-25-11 - "Work" ~ 1,2,3

Despite the un-googleable name, 1,2,3 are a pretty cool band.  They hail from Pittsburgh, though you'd never guess it from the glamour shots of the city in this video.  The opening shots of the bridges and PNC Park look like models - almost a Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood feel.  Then the guitars kick in, and you're hooked.  The video is a cross-section of the personalities of the various blue-collar neighborhoods of the city and the residents therein.


I haven't actually heard these guys live yet, but it's definitely on the agenda.  If this track is any indication, seeing them play in person would be tons of fun.  Oh yea, and you can totally see this building from my bedroom window AND at 2:43 of the music video:

You can even download a few tracks for just the price of an e-mail, if you're so inclined:

"God knows how I go and take it so hard..."


EDIT 1-9-12:  Found some sweet performance videos.  Check 'em.

(not sure whether to trust the free download from this Baeble site - some questionable comments below the video. don't blame me if you try it and get spammed.)
