Band performs with iPhones after instruments stolen

updated 05:25 pm EDT, Fri October 15, 2010

"Take Me Out" performed on NYC subway


Brooklyn-based alternative rock band Atomic Tom organized an impromptu performance using only iPhones and a battery-powered speaker system. Using apps for vocals, keyboards, guitar and drums, the band members played "Take Me Out," the lead single from their debut album The Moment, on a New York City subway train.

The B train performance appears to be a new idea for the group, after their instruments were all stolen earlier in the month. [via The Daily What]

    Now that's worth inviting them for a trip to Apple Headquarter. Unlike that student journalist...

    Thanks for sharing such a unique concert by a very innovative band. They are terrific with their previous instruments and just as good with their new ones. These men are very dedicated to the art of music and it shows. Apple, this is the kind of people that you should have selling your products in your commercials. We Apple buyers like to see unique ways of using your products. Thanks Atomic Tom. You are #1 in my IPod play list!
