Reminds me of the Talking Propeller Heads (TPH)[0]. Saw them open up for the Beach Boys[1] at Usenix in '94. My sister in-law (she and my brother lived in SF back then) is a huge Beach Boys fan, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Unsurprisingly, it was easy to get a few extra tickets. She really enjoyed the show and even got to chat with Brian Wilson afterwards. She was thrilled. I have to say that while I'm not a big fan, they did put on a pretty good show. TPH was mildly amusing, doing covers of popular songs with "Open Systems"[2] lyrics.
