Ugh, I have to take back what I said in the other thread about not really being into American bands, these guys totally sucker punched me last night and now I am in love.

"Steam Powered Giraffe features a group of performance artists who skillfully incorporate their captivating original music with pantomime and comedy."

Beautiful harmonies (damn those Bennett Brothers can SING), quirky variety, adorably weird theme (ROBOTS), and frankly hilarious albeit it corny, family friendly comedy.

They are very hard categorize. We don't know anyone else like that do we??

From what I have gleaned they got their start busking at Balboa park in San Diego, California and now have a CD and a DVD forthcoming.

Honey Bee: (Oh those harmonies)

Captain Albert Alexander: (skip to 1:39 to pass the verbal intro and get to the song)

Space Oddity(LP),Stationtostation,then The Man Who Sold The World - Bowie, that lot should do while I do the downstairs, for upstairs I'll have a U2 afternoon, The Unforgettable Fire, followed by Achtung Baby, then Zooropa, if the house isn't clean after that lot too bad!

Came across a new band the other day, The Revolving Birds.

This track has a very late 60's feel to it. Reminds me of something, but I can't think what.
