Submit a Band
(Know a band weirder than these people? Clue us in!)
If you’re in a weird band, know a weird band, or just feel like spamming us with your crappy press releases, email us at weirdestbandintheworld@gmail.com. Or better yet, post a link here to the band’s website or YouTube videos so our whole community of weirdness connoisseurs can judge. Fun!
(Please note: You’re welcome to embed YouTube videos here, but be advised that we eventually delete the comments with embedded video so the page won’t take forever to load. We finally figured out the miracle of paginated comments. So YouTube away, people!)
Chrome Hoof – described as ‘prog-doom-disco’. Sounds like a cross between Funkadelic, Sunn O))) and Mr.Bungle – looks just as freaky too.
I submit to thee:

We thank thee.
Check out “It’s My Beak” by Lybythth on You Tube. Like Wha Ha Ha, they also apply whimsy to fun effect.
Here is my youtube section for your immense enjoyment:

I just went through the weird 100 and i said to myself: ” When Powerglove made it to the list, then this guys deserve a shot as well”
They are a kind of death metal band with one hell of a stage show beacaus the main concept of the band is the everlasting fight between good and evil in a universe that is abit like the masters of the univerve universe.
Meaning: Clad in shining red, yllow, pink etc armour they wage war against the evil dr. skull who steals their holy grail and during the show they steal it back.
that story combined with their sound and a heavy interaction with the audience (aka Battlechoir) makes that band live nigh irrestible.

try out Wha Ha Ha, from Japan, on You Tube. “On the Floor” represents them very well. The 2nd part of the track is not unlike Henry Cow, only much more whimsically so. Love your site and habe bookmarked it. Mike P, age 59, Davenport IA

Have you guys ever considered putting on a music event where you can get all these weird bands together to play for a few days?
Yeah, that would be awesome, huh? I wonder how hard that could possibly be?
THE SONIC MANIPULATOR!
I saw this guy at Summer Sundae festival in Leicester, UK in 2009, I think he’s Australian. I did speak to him for a bit after one of his many shows there (he just walked around and set up)but I was pretty high and I can’t remember his actual name. Anyway, he makes all his own instruments. He definitely deserves to be on yr list! x
This is him!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7tvCHsCRX8&NR=1&feature=endscreen
Austin TX has some freaks. Total Unicorn. Perform awesome mind melting electronic music in glowing eye unicorn masks infront of masterful motion graphics! Enjoy
Time Hammer from Lincoln, NE, USA

Um, no.
What about BARR?
I imagine you’re already aware of Eugene Chadbourne. If not, he invented the electric rake. Sometimes he plays guitar with a balloon. He’s collaborated with tons of avant-garde musicians, including John Zorn. I love what he does to country music.
Sorry for the duplicate. I just saw in older comments that this band was submitted.
Hampton Grease Band/Colonel Bruce Hampton is like a southern fried Zappa. Lots of weird and funny shit on this album. The lyrics to this song, Halifax, were basically the reading of a random encyclopedia selection which happened to be Halifax. I think there’s another song where he sings the label of a can of spray paint.
Hey, and how come you still don’t have Lydia Lunch on your weird list??!!! One of the most important voices in the No-Wave scene, and she’s still playing nowadays
I am in total agreement. Lydia Lunch has much groovitude, and definitely deserves a post written about her.
