darwin deez - radar detector
[from the independent:
"Darwin Deez are a pretty strange and enduring looking bunch.
A crossbreed of The Strokes, yet they possess a personality and sense of humour, (much unlike the Last Nite trendies), and there is an element of Flight of the Conchords- if you can manage to take that seriously.
Dressed up in bright pastel colours, and almost resembling a tube of Loveheart candies, this colourful bunch look like they’ve dragged themselves out of a 80s’ New York.
Singer, Darwin (“Darwin is the name my parents gave me. Deez is not my real last name though. It's like Sasha Fierce”), who personally reminds me of a elfin type creature, sports a shiny luscious mane of brown curls (on a recent 6music interview he admitted he doesn’t use shampoo. Pop fact number one!), complete with a headband to hold his pretty locks in place, and a turquoise jumper that looks like something I wore in nostalgic family photos dating back to the early 90s; this front man pixie is something else."
as for the video, personally, i kind of dig this version shot by the f.d.c. featuring the kids of P.S. 217]

[here's more info on the FDC program:
