Wacky Leicester surrealists Dalmatian Rex and the Eigentones are famed for a Guinness Book of Records entry for the shortest-ever gig, writes Dave Davies.
Their Abbey Park Festival '99 appearance consisted entirely of the one-second song, Ping.
They also use bizarre song titles like Cauliflowers, Chrysanthemums and a Labrador Called Gertrude Arranged to Resemble a Peter Shilton Hairdo.
Maybe now they'll be known for their brand new album Majikal Moose Moustache Musique, which is out on Monday.
It's the follow-up to their critically-acclaimed 1999 debut, We Don't Make Toothpaste For Anyone Else, and has already been made album of the week on Student Broadcast Network Radio.
It sounds like The Fall jamming with Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa, while my favourite track, 28 Hole Oxford Bags, with its gutteral vocal, bass-driven riffs and swirling spacey synth, even evokes Hawkwind.
