Music Video: “Ping Pong” by Stereolab


Stereolab

We wouldn’t really know where to start with Stereolab. A Bunch of Nerds favorite, over their long long career, Stereolab has produced many amazing tracks which we could have posted, but, we had to choose one (don’t worry, the rest will come in future posts). For our first Stereolab video, we’ve decided to go with an older track and shoot, somewhat hard to find actually, but naturally up on YouTube. The song is title “Ping Pong” from the lab’s 1994 album “Mars Audiac Quintet”, which funnily enough was connected through licensing to Sub Pop, rather than Stereolab’s seminal Duophonic label. After the sad passing of co-vocalist Mary Hansen and more recently, the band being dropped from Elektra, Stereolab took some much needed rest to refocus, working on small tours and the member’s various side-projects.

they don’t need any “big” label. they are the groop and us, the fans, will always support them.
