Lake Street Dive was ready for its close-up, which came courtesy of YouTube rather than Mr. DeMille.
The band’s performance video of the Jackson 5 hit “I Want You Back” generated Internet buzz shortly after Lake Street Dive posted it on YouTube in May to promote its covers EP, “Fun Machine.” The sass ’n’ class clip shows singer Rachael Price, bassist Bridget Kearney, trumpet player and guitarist Mike Olson, and drummer Mike Calabrese delivering a smoky soul rendition of the tune outdoors on a Boston neighborhood sidewalk. To date, the video has been seen more than 500,000 times, and got a little help when actor Kevin Bacon tweeted the clip.
