After living all these years, somehow the fantastic psychedelic rock group Atomic Rooster, which has been around since 1969, has only recently come to my attention. My path to the Rooster came through the other psychedelic group of which I'm now a big fan, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, which I discovered only because they are responsible for the incredible opening theme music for Boardwalk Empire.
Atomic Rooster's music is reminiscent of a combination of blues rock and ELP's progressive sound, which makes sense since Carl Palmer was with the group for a time.
Check out the lineup of not very-well coordinated, but somehow strangely appropriate go-go dancers in this video of Tomorrow Night:
