We hope you have your dancin' shoes ready, because these guys aren't messing around!

In case you already didn't know, we LOVE LA duo Capital Cities, and in their latest music video for Safe and Sound, they've gathered some of the greatest booty shakin' steps throughout time for the ULTIMATE dance-off!

Ch-ch-check out some of history's best moves (above)!

With teams like disco dancing Santa Monica Sam & The High Rollers and salsa swingers Los Calientes competing, there's a little bit of something for everyone!

Oh, and did we mention that the song is pretty damn good too??

Seriously, give these guys a listen! Whether it's the video or the music itself, we guarantee they will have you shaking what your mama gave you!

Prepare to shake that ass to the MAXIMUS!!!

Capital Cities — one of the most AWE-some fresh musical acts around — played a ROUSING live rendition of Safe and Sound at Perez Hilton's mind-melting One Night In Austin party…

And we've got the EXCLUSIVE video for your viewing/dancing pleasure!!!

Prrreeessssss pplllaaaaayyy (above) for a SPICY serving of electra-pop-alternative SXSW goodness!

SO obsessed with Capital Cities, and we were so freaking honored to have them play at our shindig!

Can't wait to see where their inevitably bright future will take this fine group of music-making lads!

For the sixth straight year, we took our talented friends to Austin and blew everyone's minds with SXSW's most ass-kicking event!

Words haven't been invented to accurately describe the awesomeness of Sunday's One Night In… Austin partAAy, but we will try and paint a picture of the gloriousness anyway!!

There was fabulous music and delicious drinks! Our favorite celebz mingled with our perezilicous fans!

Fall Out Boy surprised the crap out of everyone by playing a fabulous set!

And, best of all, we raised over $53,000 for two of our fantastic charities!!!

It's true!!

In addition to showcasing the most anticipated performances at SXSW, our event successfully raised $53,000 for VH1 Save The Music Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music education in America's public schools and GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring safe schools for all and creating a world in which every child learns to respect and accept all people, regardless of sexual orientation!

We're proud to have collected so much cash for such great causes, but we certainly couldn't have done it alone!

We couldn't have thrown such an amazing party and raised so much money without

Los Angeles is in da house!!!

We love us some Capital Cities! We love them so much we put their song Safe & Sound, on our first Pop UP compilation album!

We love them so much we are having them perform at our big One Night In Austin party on March 16th!

Don't know Capital Cities? You should! Above!!!

The Angelenos join a stellar lineup of talent at our big bash. It includes A Surprise Superstar Act, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Paloma Faith, Stooshe, Charli XCX, Brooke Candy and many other hot acts we have yet to announce.

The only way to get GUARANTEED entry into our party is to buy tickets! And, even cooler, 100% of ticket sales will be split directly between the two non-profits we work the most closely with, Vh1's Save The Music Foundation and GLSEN, the Gay & Lesbian Straight Education Network. Both cater specifically to helping young people!
