MATT AND KIM UNLEASH FLASH MOB-INSPIRED MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE "BLOCK AFTER BLOCK"

New York, NY (July 16, 2011) - Matt & Kim have done it again in their new video for "Block After Block", the latest single off their album Sidewalks which premiered today exclusively on MTV and is now in rotation on MTV's Hits and mtvU channels. The duo reunited with Jonathan Del Gatto, the director of their "Cameras" music video, to take the action-packed fun that is a Matt & Kim live show and bring it direct to the streets.

"Block After Block" was shot on location in NYC and not only includes Matt & Kim's gang of friends, but also loyal Twitter followers who showed up to fulfill Matt's fun and fresh concept of a flash-mob performance occurring in numerous iconic New York City locations. Crowd surfing on the Brooklyn Bridge, performing in a Chinatown intersection, and taking over the NBC Rockefeller Plaza are just a few of the raucous scenes included in this fun-filled music video.

The music video is done in typical Matt & Kim fashion, bringing their larger-than-life energy to the small screen. Past videos find the band in an all-out food fight ("Yea Yeah"), pummeling each other in their rehearsal space ("Cameras"), or taking off their clothes in Times Square ("Lessons Learned"), the last of which earned them an MTV "Breakthrough Video Award" at the VMAs and an mtvU Woodie Award for "Best Video".
