Band mates? We don’t need no stinkin band mates

altec lansing inmorion

This iPod thing must really be taking off, because big time pop stars are replacing real live musicians with the milky white players.

Erasure, the 80’s pop duo, has some behind the scenes rehearsal footage on their website, as they prepare for an upcoming tour. The backup singers seen in the “I Broke It All In Two” video are real live girls… but the music is coming from an iPod, piped through what looks an awful lot like an Altec Lansing InMotion portable audio system.

I will admit I don’t really know anything about Erasure. Because I’m just not hip like that. But according to Disco Dave, a TUAW reader who sounds like he is far more familiar with the 80’s pop scene than I am, Vince Clarke is a well-known Mac fan, and has used them to program entire tours in the past.

Barb is the musician amongst us here, perhaps she can ellaborate more on this phenom?
