I was talking to Pete and Simon on the Rocks Off cruise and they mentioned there was this amazing band in Japan that plays NMS tunes. Joking Pete mentioned "I think they may play our tunes better than we do Mike!" We all had a laugh. Now I had thought it was the another band I had seen cover Land of Nod which was good and all but I did a little lookign around youtube. Um I found them! THE HOUSEROCKERS OF YOKOHAMA

Check these vids out. Absolute monsters. I'd love to see them:
