First Reaction - WTF, Second Reaction - WOW

Maybe I live under a rock and I'm the only person that's never heard of them, but I give you Blasted Mechanism.

Apparently they always dress in highly elaborate costumes that look like they belong on the next installment of AVP-X...or not.

Their music is defined by wiki as "electronic mixed with world music ... conveyed through sound, image and also through an irreverent, upbeat attitude."

For your enjoyment:
a slide show of the band members' costumes with samples of their music playing
Blasted Empire (the intro reminds me of Rubber Johnny)
All The Way
Battle Of Tribes
I Believe (they have counting in Japanese in this video)
Sun Goes Down

LISTEN TO THEM, THEY'RE REALLY FUCKING GOOD (in their own special kind of way)

I kind of like describing them as a cross between SEEED and System of a Down, but that still doesn't hit the nail on the head.
