Eastern Conference Champions, 'The Box' - Video Premiere

Philadelphia's D.I.Y. trio Eastern Conference Champions get animated in their new 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'-influenced video for 'The Box.' The clip features a lighter take on the film, with patients dancing to the feel-good sounds of ECC. "'The Box' was a little scary for ECC," founder Greg Lyons told Spinner. "Up until then, we were used to making our own videos on iMovie, having complete control and being the only ones to blame if it wasn't good enough." The trio wound up putting their faith in director Elliot Jokelson, though. "When he submitted a treatment, it immediately appealed to us, kind of a 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' meets A-ha, we knew this was the move," Lyons said. Have an exclusive look at 'The Box' in its animated glory.

ECC is a woefully underrated band, probably because they are thoughtful and literate than most, but hopefully that will change in 2008 as more people discover them. This is a great video that really captures the essence of a great song.
