Hi all!
Since the PA folks are likely deciding on bands as you read this, I thought I'd make a suggestion...
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets!

About the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets (from their
website)
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets is a rock band that is dedicated to promoting the literature of H.P. Lovecraft, who wrote of lost cities, tainted geneology, alien gods, and that fabled tome, The Necronomicon. The Thickets haven’t been able to get ahold of the ancient spellbook, but they’ve got their own brand of corruption. They’re on a Lovecraft binge of madness, and they mean to take you with them. The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets have a reputation for entrancing and inciting their live audiences with their melodic blend of energetic punk and rock, while wearing graphic costumes that help bring their good-naturedly macabre songs to life. Their latest project is “The Shadow Out of Tim” concept album, a reimagining of Lovecraft’s short story “The Shadow Out of Time.”
Why the Thickets, you ask?They were FANTASTIC at PAX 2008
From their energetic concert to their inclusion in Rockband's
PAX08 Pack, the Thickets know how to do PAX right!
PAX08 - Colour Me GreenThey contributed to the Child's Play CD!
"The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets' "Kill the Chupacabra" is a high-energy tune that will probably have hospital nurses cursing the track, as kids will be jumping out of their hospital beds to rock along.
Dale North - DestructoidThey can be heard in Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 2!
With their song "Some Things Man Was Not Meant to Know" playing during the credits, the Penny Arcade tie-ins keep coming!
They wear crazy costumes!
My personal favourite being giant puzzle pieces.
Cthulupalooza - Math Song
And, last but
definitely not least...
