My latest two favorite bands with bearded singers, Herman Dune and Gil Mantera's Party Dream have awesome videos. check out Herman Dune's video for "Not on Top" and Gil Mantera's Party Dream's video for "Elmo's Wish."

Gil Mantera's Party Dream = Napolean Dynamite impersonates Thomas Dolby.

Haw... very good. For some reason, this reminds me that Daniel Johnston is in the Whitney Biennial this year (though not for his music, but for his drawings).

Really, really dug the Herman Dune song!

The Gil Mantera... not so much.

And Herman Dune has the better beard, too.

I second the plug for Herman Dune. 27 and I'm fucked. Well, it's ten years from teenage, and that's a freaking lot. Well played, Herman.

Yeah, the herman dune song made me go out and buy the CD. "I feel a little strange, feels like I'll never get my shit.....together.." He's from sweeden.
It's damn catchy. The Gil Mantera, just made me realize what a sucker I am for contrirony (a neologism i just made up for contrived+irony...does it work?).

A buddy recently turned me on to Gil Mantera. I hated them for pretty much the same reasons he loves them....

I second the hipster irony thing. meh.

Not On Top was one of my favorite songs of 2005. Now I have to go out and listen to GMPD, too. Thanks!
