SHELLAC, Melt Banana, Puppy vs Dyslexia, and Polysics all blew my mind live, more than any other band, for different reasons.
PUPPY VS DYSLEXIA, in particular.. saw them 3 times throughout 2 years and each time was completely different. One time, they had a superfat woman dressed as a fairy reading children's stories in between songs while the band improvised in the background and if she didnt' like what they were doing, she'd press a red button that beeped LOUDLY and they started playing an actual song for a while (I guess... it didn't sound improvised any more) and then she'd press the button again and start reading.
Another time, the entire set was the main guy beating on a floor tom SLOWLY for 20 minutes and chanting while the rest of the band just made sick, disgusting, low-frequency noises. Suddenly, the drummer (with the full set, not the floor tom) does the "drum click" thing (you know, clicks his sticks together 3 times) and they go completely insane, playing fast as fuck and breaking all their equipment and throwing it into the audience and shit and just destroying EVERYTHING. For about a minute. And then the set ended.
Then I saw them again and they played really weird pop, like Pixies but weird...
