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.
To add up, they have the craziest videos and despite the
guitar sound they are worthy contenders for the title of
Devo for the 21st century. Truly heavy mental music…

Electric Six – “Danger! High Voltage”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a4gyJsY0mc
(“Fire in the Taco Bell!”)

Electric Six – “Gay Bar”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTN6Du3MCgI
(“You’re a Superstar!”)

Electric Six – “Dance Commander”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vboGDSUGCyY
(“The Dance Commander is ready to sin!”)

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

Radio Ga Ga – Electric Six

“Even more important, however, is our further finding that
the greater a society’s future orientation, the higher its
average GDP per capita and its levels of innovativeness,
happiness, confidence, and competitiveness”
