The Virgins, 'One Week of Danger' -- Video Premiere

Growing up, Donald Cumming loved all those classic music videos on MTV. Someday the Virgins frontman hopes to make a really elaborate video like those, but, for now, he's content with making more "intimate" ones that emphasize who the Virgins are as a band. Their latest video, for 'One Week of Danger,' is essentially the band members riding around in their native New York City. "The idea for the video, we came up with in, I think, a minute," Cumming tells Spinner. "We were just sitting in the van on tour just completely crammed and squished together, and we were like,'Remember when we used to like going around in big vehicles, like when we were younger?'"

Back in high school, a "big night out" for Cumming and pals would be chipping in $30 and spending the night driving around in an Escalade and listening to music. "The drivers would always have whatever the newest, most popular hip-hop single was. We just wanted to make video exactly that: a mellow, fun evening hanging out with friends." Check out the video below.
