Avant Garde Enigma: The Residents
AS FAR AS anyone knows, the Residents all have giant, brilliantly colored eyeballs for heads. As you can see, that's how they represent themselves — after four decades and 60 albums, the group has remained completely anonymous.
This major quirk is our first clue that their music probably doesn't sound much like the Jonas Brothers. Rather, their brand of experimental-psych is full of eerie whispering and otherworldly instrumentals.
Whether or not its your thing, their live shows are a spectacle to behold. If there's a fan of such avant garde trippiness in your life, head to the 9:30 Club with them for a Twilight Zone-esque experience.
