So I have a newest favorite thing... The C.M.O.N.S!A sweet Brit (thanks Steven!) turned me on to Red, Moo, Blue, Cherri and White also known as the C.M.O.N.S. These colorful and very adorable puppets are currently being used in the marketing campaign for the New Vauxhall Corsa in Britain.
Here's with the official C'MON!PEDIA (ala Wikipedia, get it?) has to say about my favorite funky five-some.
THE C'M.O.N.S. are an alternative rock formation out of Barcelona Spain that have skyrocketed to international success in the last five years. They are a mixed group consisting of three men (White -drums, Red - base, and Blue - vocals) and two women (Cherri - guitars and Moo - keyboards). Their last names are a secret.
HOW THEY GOT STARTED
At the end of the 90’s, the C.M.O.N.S. were just five friends living in Barcelona, who all used to hang out at the same bar. According to the published biographies, the bar they met at is the now famous Rosso’s, not far from Barcelona’s landmark las Ramblas. Even before breaking into the big time, they all shared a love for street art. This love was always more artistic than political. Nowadays, one can see more and more of the self-styled stickers created by Red on European street corners. The friends quickly discovered another common bond: rock music. It was only a question of time until C.M.O.N.S. were born.
I've been fascinated with the little buggers ever since I saw the commercials that they star in. Have a look and tell me you're not addicted yourself! FYI: My favorite fact: Moo is "completely vegetarian, except for chicken, which she loves!"
