This is 'Trash Canon' from Ft. Collins. We asked them onto a bill with us on our '08 tour because we had played with a different band that contained the girl, that was pretty good, the year before. That was a mistake-they were terrible. They took something like 45 minutes to set up, their synth shit broke down every other song....typical electronic bullshit music. if i have to wait for your macbook to reboot, you need to get off the stage.

PR spin:
"The live show sees Dan and Joe performing on keyboards, touch screen lemurs and laptops, and are bringing along guest performer Alana on vocals. “We’ve known her since we were 16,” explains Dan. “She’s always been part of the [redacted] gang. She’s got a good A&R sensibility, and she’s been on all the singles. She helps give us a ‘band’ feel, a bit like Massive Attack.” It is a visual led performance and see’s them performing from a custom build booth consisting of ghetto blasters, retro TVs, old amps and an arcade machine centre piece. ... [redacted] have taken the music world by storm. And “storm” is about right when it comes to describing the epic noise they make, with its thunderous dubstep bass, whirlwind drum’n’bass and hail of house rhythms, lightning flashes of rave synths, squall of orchestra, and occasional showers of guitar. ... in June they headlined the WOW stage at Glastonbury and had their Dubstep Symphony performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. They have had their fair share of releases on all the right labels, won several awards including 2010′s Beatport Awards for Best Dubstep Act and Best Dubstep track for 'Act Like you Know.'"

I am partial to @19, but @7 and @29 are really good too. Honestly, beyond the yuks, Necromancers would probably actually fit them (though I like the fannish humor of "Gibson Trio" too in that vein too).
