Do you remember Run Too Run's fantastic cover of "Sleepyhead"? It's certainly one of the best covers of the song out there. Now the band has released a video for their cover of David Bowie's "Little Wonder". The band said that Bowie's publishers reached out to them, asking if they would cover one of his songs. How cool is that? Check out the cover below: Here is their cover of "Sleepyhead", just in case you've never seen it: [...]

Hola! tonight OIW are heading down to Ginglik (Sheps Bush) to DJ at an Oxfam event between sets from Alessis' Ark, 6 Day Riot, Run Toto Run and Reid Morrison.

Things kick off at 7pm and it will be proper busy so we recommend you getting there early! As a taster here's one of tonight's stars, the lovely Run [...]
I had never heard of the band Run Toto Run until I saw this video on My Old Kentucky Blog ; as it turns out, they're spectacular. Their music is similar to Passion Pit 's: upbeat and poppy, often using more electronic sounds. But in the video, they transform the more mechanical sounds of "Sleepyhead" with a xylophone and a violin. It's the sort of video where the band isn't doing anything too phenomenal, but they look like they're having the time of their lives. Watch and be happy. [...]
Just testing how well broadcasting from an iphone works. On a slight side note long time readers of this blog might remember Rachel Kichenside both from guest appearances with Stickboy and from her cheerleading in the comments for my frequent Stickboy posts. Well anyway her band Run Toto Run have become something of a hype machine / youtube sensation courtesy of their cover version of Passion Pits cover version of Passion Pit's " Sleepy Head ". The video has that lo-fi spontaneous charm of the best youtube hits. Run Toto Run - [...]

Saturday special: A pair of videos plus new single releases from this past week. First video: A dude who really, really loves Sabbath (the Dio version , no less). Thanks to Glam-Racket for finding this little gem. The second video is an indie-music inside joke. Buzz band Passion Pit is covered by Manchester's Run Toto Run in this home movie. Children of the Sea - Black Sabbath [...]
Oh goodness. And I thought the original version was really stuck in my head.

Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got? Run Toto Run! Cool name for a [...]
We got sent this awesome video a couple of days ago, and I haven't had time to post it until now. This is a fantastic cover of the Passion Pit song that everyone loves. I was waiting to post until an mp3 came along, which Neon Gold Beat Company posted today. Watch the video, and enjoy the mp3 below. Run Toto Run- Sleepyhead (Passion Pit Cover)
This is such a pretty cover of Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead" but it's almost ruined by this dumb video. Animal masks, really?
Passion Pit's Manners is easily at Top 5 release at this point in the year. Last year, Sleepyhead was the track that started all the buzz, and while we've all moved on to The Reeling and Moth's Wings as on-repeat tracks, it is nice to revisit Sleepyhead now and then. On a recent bank holiday, British trio Run Toto Run did a nice little cover (and somewhat amusing video) of it... [...]
