Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

#9
For sheer flexability, nothing beats the advanced charms and whimsy of Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem. We're talking muppets here! and they rock harder than most real life bands.

Funk Yeah!

Autobahn (The Big Lebowski)

#13
Picture via Lebowski Fest NY 2005 ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/vidiot/sets/1196917/ ). As easy as it sounds, it's damn near impossible to find an actual pictuer of the band from the movie....

Actually several of the Monkees were already musicians before the show and all of them learned their instruments and they started writing their own music before the first season was even finished.
