It's pretty impressive, more for what can be done with the iPhone...

WASHINGTON -- When God closes a window, he opens a Subway door.
Brooklyn rock group Atomic Tom's instruments were stolen in early October. A few days later, armed only with their Apple iPhones, the group performed one of their breakout hits, "Take Me Out," in one take on the B Train bound for their home borough over the Manhattan Bridge.

And it seems to be a blessing in disguise; viral video of the street (read: Rail) performance has gained over a million views since it was uploaded last Thursday. Their second-most viewed version of the song on YouTube has garnered just 24,000 hits since February


And a nice little interview about it here, where they confirm that their instruments were not stolen but used the idea that they had been as the basis for the video:

Good thing those poor musicians still had their iPhones!

Quite unfortunate that their music is so awful.

They'll probably get an iphone commercial out of this.

Pretty sure they're giving the iPhone free advertising right there. No need for Apple to spend money on this unoriginal band.

I had not seen that, pretty impressive even if you don't care for the music
