I dont know what kind of mushrooms these guys are using
but they are definitely one of the most original bands and
sounds that I’ve heard in the last few years in rock music.

Electric Six – “Danger! High Voltage”

(“Fire in the Taco Bell!”)

Electric Six – “Gay Bar”

(“You’re a Superstar!”)

Electric Six – “Dance Commander”

(“The Dance Commander is ready to sin!”)

Just to seal the deal, they have a great bad taste cover:
