It's not often that I get an email tip from a Creative Manager at Sony Music Entertainment UK pointing me to an unsigned group of girly girls playing iPhone instruments. This all girl band go by the name "The Mentalists", seen here performing a wicked cover of "Kids" by the wildly popular UK band MGMT using only the iPhone and iPod touch to dazzle a crowd. Their performance is far from musical perfection, but who cares, it's all about iPhone domination in the UK.
Though "The Mentalists' are way more than just an iBand by design, it's clever using the iPhone as a prop to get their music abroad. Most of you may have already forgotten about the group of wonder-nerds calling themselves the first iBand to perform music using touch screen instruments. I'm sure VH1 will be doing a "Where Are They Now" iBand special" very soon.
I've included The Mentalists' 80's retro dance video; "Don't Know What To Do (With You)" after the jump. These girls are not just one iPhone wonders, in fact they may be a hit single away from blowing up with official rock star status.
Somebody sign these chicks already!
