FAR EAST MOVEMENT IS COMING to Binghamton University.

Super Mash Bros and Taking Back Sunday appearing as well.

Those guys that sing the song about the Pontiac G6 are coming to Binghamton University on May 7th. (OK, the song’s not about a Pontiac G6; it’s about the rich and famous jetting around in Gulfstream IVs (G4).  But it’s fun to make fun of all the idiots running around claiming that the song is about a Pontiac, so I like to perpetuate the fallacy.) So where did the "G6" come from? Drake sings about Gulfstream 4s. Not to be outdone, Far East Movement’s Kev Nish told MTV News that the only thing "flyer" than a G4 would have to be a G6–never mind that the plane doesn’t actually exist.  There’s nothing flyer than a nonexistent plane.  Apparently.  Nonexistent planes and unicorns have that in common. (See Ke$ha’s hysterically asinine video for Blow.) Though it’s worth mentioning that nonexistent planes at least "fly" in theory. Unicorns, in fact, do not.  OK, unicorns, in fantasy, do not.

Anyway, Far East Movement has proven that they are NOT just a one-hit wonder. (Jury’s still out on whether or not they’ll be a 2-hit wonder.) Although if you believe Wikipedia, G6 can’t be counted as their first “hit”. Their track "Round Round" was featured in Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and "You’ve Got a Friend" got a bit of national airplay. Not sure if I buy those two as hits, but the one that’s seriously making the rounds right now is "Rocketeer"…

According to Pipe Dream, the BU concert gurus were trying to find a mega-act to follow up last semester’s mega-get of Drake. When that didn’t work out, they went for more of a music festival vibe–with 3 acts that scored big on student surveys. Wiki-world also credits FEM as being the "first Asian-American group to earn a top ten hit on the Mainstream Pop charts in America".
