The Gregory Brothers

This famous 4 piece comprised of Evan, Michael, Andrew and Sarah Gregory are probably the most famous YouTube musicians in existence.
If you haven't heard of the Gregory Brothers or haven't seen one of their videos then you clearly don't know anything about the internet at all. Their videos are some of the most watched and lucrative on the net. Their Auto-Tune the News series was the launching pad to internet stardom where they would jazz up the News broadcasts by Auto-Tuning the media presenters and sing-a-long with them.
A pretty random thing to Auto Tune but Auto Tuning random clips is now a staple of the internet. If there is a famous viral video online chances are days later a Auto-Tune remix will spring up.
Often they find that some of the presenters, anchors or politicians they auto-tune sound like half decent singers whilst auto tuned, which I guess is more of a jab at the modern music industry then any real indicator of talent.
Either way enjoy some of their past work:
Whilst their Auto Tune the news series was a rousing success their little side videos where they would randomly Auto Tune other clips into Auto-Tuned musical Gems is where they really hit their stride. Their most famous of course being the Bed Room Intruder song which was pretty much the viral video hit of 2010. Afterwards The Gregory Brothers were practically the hottest musicians online, 78 Million videos alone on the original Bed Room Intruder video and 100,000 copies sold on iTunes, The Gregory Brothers became Internet Royalty over the song.
I shouldn't be showing you people anything new, but did you know the Gregory Brothers actually made their own music? Yes beyond auto tuning news anchors and politicians they actually make their own music. It's a rather nice combination of country folk pop music.
Here's a taste of "Summertime"
You can purchase all their music from Hit Internet Singles to their EP 'Meet the Gregory Brothers' here on iTunes: HERE
