“HOLY SHIT O M G I KNOW IM A BIT LATE BUT YO GABBA GABBA & MGMT, OMG, I CAN’T HANDLE THIS. I LOVE LIFE.” – Charlotte J

MGMT

” On a stage lit mostly by an abstract, curling, wave-shaped screen, singer Andrew VanWyngarden of Brooklyn’s MGMT stared up at the top balcony of Radio City Music Hall.

He was silent at first, more overwhelmed than scared. Finally, he blurted out, “Nobody’s more surprised about us being here than me.”

His astonishment seemed shared by the hipsters in the house not used to seeing their band with such a large crowd, many of whom don’t know their Greenpoint from their Bushwick.” [NY Post]

The masterminds behind Yo Gabba Gabba realized that MGMT‘s new demographic is all kids (pun intended), so the group from the children’s TV show stopped by Radio City Music Hall last night, Wednesday, August 18th, to make a surprise appearance on stage with MGMT who were headlining their second night in row at the fancy venue. And actually, it was during “Kids” that DJ Lance Rock and his army of multi-colored living sex toys ran on stage. Videos below.

MGMT friends Amazing Baby opened the show. Francis & the Lights opened the night before.

The costumed characters’ appearance (I mean Yo Gabba Gabba) is far from random. MGMT have been on the TV show, and Yo Gabba have FIVE shows of their own coming up at the same NYC venue. Tickets are still on sale.
