[Video] whysowhite: "Get Busy"

The first time I met Nick "Big Fat Nick" McMillan, he told me a breathtaking story on how he and his landlord found and retrieved a dead cat out of the wall of his apartment. That doesn't have much to do with this post, but it sets the mood perfectly for the band that is whysowhite. I'm telling you, if you haven't heard, interacted, broken bread with the guys of the Chicago six piece funk band, you are seriously missing something in your life. Fresh off hosting a sensual Valentine's Day celebration at their renovated 'Firehaus' on the city's north side, the ever-eclectic squad graced us today with the video for their party-starting jam "Get Busy". The visual release, shot by Nocturnal Media, follows the group's trio of frontmen, Charlie Moonbeam, D-Pop Fantastic and Big Fat Nick as their scour their way through a grocery store. If you've ever been pelted with a banana during one of the band's in-show 'fruit tosses', you'll instantly understand the poignancy of this setting. It plays out somewhat like you're stereotypical hip-hop video, if you replace the green of money with asparagus and big booty girls with pomegranates. Nick chokes on spaghetti, there's a spikey neon ball...you just gotta give it a look. Check out the full video for "Get Busy" below and catch the band March 1 at Martyr's in Chicago with Marrow, featuring a special back-up section.
