Awesome Bands

There are lots of cover bands out there, but it’s not often their performances rise to the level of the originals. The Lexington Lab Band is one of those rare musical groups that crushes every single cover they play. Their YouTube channel is packed with classics like Ride Like the Wind, Give a Little Bit, Hot for Teacher, and Ironic.

Here we are now; entertain us. The One Hacker Band features no humans except the one programming its servo-powered, robotic members. Crank up the volume and do the pogo dance as the animatronic musicians perform a cover of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit.

The Danish band Mew and B&O Play created an app that lets you hunt for and string together sounds to form a new song by the group. Sensory Spaces is a must if you’re already a frenger but fun for new listeners too.

Don’t be surprised if you have to pick your jaw up from the floor after watching the sixth grade shredders from Brooklyn that make up the tiny but powerful metal band Unlocking the Truth.

It’s a tad obtuse, but still we tip our hats to the talent of the Ohio State University Marching Band, who continue to entertain the masses at halftime; this show even includes a DeLorean. (Thanks Dave!)

Gorburger has begun his weekly internet invasions to satisfy his blood lust and interview bands but not have sex with them because his genitalia is incompatible. First victims? Tegan and Sara.

If you’re going to be visiting Montreal soon we have good news: the city has a motorbike band with a sidecar cow on drums. The bad news? They only know how to play Sweet Home Alabama.
