D'you think they have an agent?

I particularly love the guy playing computer games in the background.

They are the Back Dorm Boys. If you want more, have a look at:

(Connection seems a little slow, so they appear a bit out of sync.) I'm currently enjoying Get Down.

One of the vids on the site is Back Dorm Boys - Performing Live Oct. 31, 2005. To be honest, it looks a bit like 2 kids dancing enthusiastically on a large, emtpy stage. Which it is. Lost some of that 'webcam magic', I feel. OTOH, they have performed in front of a substantial audience for Chinese TV. Think they're probably out of our league...:huh:
