Bang Bang :: The Knux

Thanks to Kim for pointing out that MTV has a new YouTube-ish website for searching for videos and interviews...

Here's another song by the Knux, two brothers out of New Orleans. These guys are so cool. I love hip-hop that is fast and fun and not about being a sociopath. So, here's the video for "Bang Bang." I love how the video references the early-80s movie "The Outsiders" and how the blonde chick looks like a Twin Peaks-era Lara Flynn Boyle.

The second video is the Knux talking about being labeled "hipster rap" by the hip-hop community... interesting stuff!

Cappuccino :: The KNUX

I saw this video when I was home this weekend, watching mtvU with my brother. It's the Knux! It's zany! Whimsical! [insert jazz hands]

They are a pair of brother-DJs raised in New Orleans, displaced by Katrina, now settled in California. Their myspace profile describes their sound as "garage-hop."

Enjoy!



I couldn't find the lyrics online, but it must be about... coffee, right? Right?
