Recommendation: Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet

**Exeunt** · 10-10-2002, 02:45 PM

This weeks recommendation, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, I am pretty sure the majority of you have one or more of their songs, and not known it. The first song is "Having an Average Weekend", which is also know as the "Kids in the Hall" theme. The second is "Zombie Compromise", which is being used currently by Taco Bell in their commercials. The third one, "Run Chicken Run" was used in the trailer for Dogma, but did not appear in the film or the soundtrack.

You can find samples at Artist Direct. Most of their stuff is instrumental. They do have a few songs with some words, but not really singing.

Some similar artists are The Ventures, Man or Astro-man, Dick Dale and Los Straitjackets. If you don't know who these are, I suggest you look them up also.

Nice! I always loved the Kids in the Hall theme, their other stuff seems cool too.
