There's a band around now that is very much an acquired taste. It's a girl named Annie Clark who performs as St. Vincent and it is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. And I saw The Tubes, Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop! She plays a Gibson signature guitar that looks oddly like a non reverse Firebird but not quite. A Japanese girl plays bass and bass synth, as well as sings. 2 guys in the band wear these body suits with mesh masks over their faces. The whole concept of the band seems to be trying to project an image of being totally androgynous, and the stage presentation is very robotic and calculated. The music is heavily programmed and synth driven. I find them oddly entertaining for the techno aspect of it, and Annie doesn't write awful songs, though she is no Lennon/McCartney.

Here's an hour of them from Austin City Limits.

If techno ever appealed to you, you might get a smile or two out of them.
