VAN STONE ROCKS!
I hope I'm not leaking something by saying that Van Stone is a parody "80's metal" band. After all, they happily bill themselves as "Palmdale's #3 Rock Band". And if you've ever been to Palmdale (some 50 miles north of Los Angeles), you'd realize this is no large feat.
I actually worked with Travis Draft (Stone's lead guitarist) a few years back, and was treated to many sessions of watching his 1990's hidden-camera show "Buzzkill". His co-star in that endeavor was none other than Dave Sheridan (the lead singer)... who just might be the most agressive (and talented) hidden camera actor of all time.
At any rate, although Van Stone is hilarious... their music is actually pretty gosh darn (Mom reads this now) good. Their videos are also shot/edited superbly... and are most likely thanks to Mr. Draft's wicked directing skills. So without futher adieu... here's their introduction video and song: "We're Van Stone!"

I would like to personally thank Mr. Sheridan for bringing his Nunchaku skills he displayed so impressively in Zwigoff's "Ghost World" to the Van Stone stage.
