The Auto-Tuned Oscars montage isn't the only proof that Antoine Dodson's 15 minutes are over; the Gregory Brothers ARE ACTUALLY TOURING THE REAL WORLD AND PERFORMING LIVE. Known throughout the Interwebz as the guys behind Auto-Tune the News, they're hitting the real stage with a bunch of big-deal-on-the-Internet acts and heading to the Galaxy Concert Theatre on April 14.
Dave Days, David Choi and Mystery Guitar Man, as well as rapper DeStorm. Combined, they have 1 billion video hits and more than 6 million fans.
What's happening here? Will audiences really peel their butts off their computer
chairs and catch a show in person at the Galaxy, instead of
hitting that “like” button? Do these artists have a future beyond novelty pixelated videos shared online? Does anyone care?
