97. Kite Flying Society
98. The Locust
It's very hard to describe a band as unusual as The Locust. With their crazy music, outrageous costumes, and sometimes insane fans, they are one of the most unique bands out there today. The synth gives them a weird flair, and their witty song titles such as "Halo of Pubic Hair and Earwax Manufactured for the Champion in All of Us" and "Priest With the Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Get Out of My Bed" never fail to get a weird look from first time listeners. Their members have also spawned many side projects such as Holy Molar, Headwound City, and Tarantula Hawk, which are great as well.
