The Gregory Brothers
By: Bekah and Olivia
Sorry for making you guys wait so long, but I was planning a big article this week! I decided to write my article about the Gregory Brothers. The Gregory
Brothers are a group of musicians who all work together to auto-tune different
videos. In their band they have three guys, and 1 girl. Their names are
Michael, Sarah, Evan, and Andrew. Some of their most popular videos include
auto-tuning the news and songifying funny clips. We emailed them to ask them a
couple questions for our interview and here are their responses.
1. What made you want to start
auto-tuning video clips?
It turns out that the news is really
boring, and we had always had trouble staying awake while watching it, because
it was impossible to dance to. We decided to remedy this situation by
adding a bass line & a beat.
2. How old was your group when you first
started out?
We all started making music when we
were young but we first started playing music together around the time we
finished college (though we are all different ages).
3.
What was your favorite
un-intentional singer?
Joe Biden, Katie Couric, & Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
are all fantastic unintentional singers. That said, Antoine Dodson is the
only unintentional singer to ever enter the BillBoard charts.
4.
What was your first
auto-tuned video?
It was the
2008 vice presidential debate, pitting Joe Biden against Sarah Palin.
5.
Are you thinking of making any more
videos?
Yes! We are almost always working on
videos. We're putting out a video in the next week or so with The New York
Times, which we're quite excited about, and also working on a new video for our
YouTube channel.
6. What was it like at the Comedy Award?
It was nerve-wracking, fun, and,
well, very funny!is perfectly
suited to our meme-crazed times, and — most difficult to replicate — is
incredibly well made. Their skills are obvious and their ears perceptive, as
evidenced by the way in which they mimic pop music tropes to perfection.” – Wired.com
This group
is touring New York doing solos, and coming to Anaheim, California as a group.
If you want more information on this amazing group, then you can look on their

Olivia and I
would like to thank the Gregory Brothers for answering our questions and
providing amazing entertainment through their videos. We will also post the one of their videos with the link to their website.
