3 cheers for Sleepytime Gorilla Museum...

Anyone else here a fan of the Dog Faced Hermans?

Etron Fou, definitely... And this weird Japanese band from the 70s Karuna Khyal put out one record 'Alomoni 1985'with a strongly demented Beeheart streak (think 'Mirror Man')...

And the first record by PJ Harvey, 'Dry'...

In the 90's I was in email contact with Zoogs Rift, who claimed to be a direct descendant and heir appearant of the Beefheart legacy. He had told me of a conversation with either the bouncer or doorman at Cathay De Grande in Hollywood that Tom Waits had requested of him to notify Waits when anyone related to Beefheart played at the club. Zoogs fit that profile.

If you have ever listened to any Howling Wolf, you will understand where Beefheart got his vocal style.

Originality is the ability to hide your sources.

Oh, yes- I saw this band perform in San Diego in Summer of '05, and they get my full endorsement. And I think they would be of interest to the majority of Beefheart fans. I thought they were better live than on record.

Zoambo Zoet Workestrao from Slovenia are a bit reminiscent of the Magic Band, structurally.

Uz Jsme Doma, though their Magic Band-ness may have come by way of Etron Fou.

Hungary's Kampec Dolores' mixture of punk and Magyar folk has at times, especially circa Eye of the Needle, borne some of that influence.

Austria's Scrooge likewise.

Ne Zdahli from Estonia also comes to mind to a degree.
