Found this band's clips on the tube a while ago (too bad didn't come across them earlier) and fell in love immediately. They look crazy, they sound crazy, and they behave as if they were crazy.
The Monks, live in Germany, 1966.

They have a really cool sound. I became aware of them through the Nuggets set. They were definitely one of those groups that had the gimmick going for their identity. Another funny gimmick was the Music Machine that had members that all wore a black glove on their right hand onstage.
