MGMT
MGMT is a neo-psychedelic/alternative group which formed in 2002 in Brooklyn, New York, United States. The band consists of multi-instrumentalists Andrew VanWyngarden (vocals, guitar, keyboards, drums) and Ben Goldwasser (vocals, keyboards, synths, drums), both alumni of Wesleyan University.
Their biggest hit is their 2008 single "Kids", which was a Top 20 hit in the UK and hit #9 on the Billboard Alternative Tracks chart in early 2009. Their other most popular songs are "Time to Pretend" , which has been featured on the motion pictures "21" and "Sex Drive" and on the TV shows "Skins", "Gossip Girl" & "90210", (the music video has reached over 11,000,000 views on YouTube) and "Electric Feel", their most purchased single on iTunes.
Electronic Indie Dance Rock began as a thesis project from music majors at Wesleyan University. They used to be known as "The Management" with songs about not quite growing up and a lot of nonsense. Despite this, 'MGMT' is pronounced by saying each letter.
