the incredible Staggers

As a great 60s lover, I must of course be a fan of this Austrian band: 
The Incredible Staggers (shortly before just The Staggers). This 60's-garage-trash-indie-rock and roll band foundet in 2005 in Graz. Their first album "Teenage Trash Insanity" published in November 2006 and the first single made it up to number 2 of the FM4-charts. 
In the spring of 2007 and 2010, The Staggers were nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award in the category " Alternative Act of the year ". 
With about 500 performances since early 2005, The Staggers are among the most often playing live band in Austria. Live performances are the real strength of the band. The Staggers always offer incredible live shows in their tight pants and shirts full with sweat and beer. And they don't drink the beer Beer just out of the bottle, no - always out from their boots or some ladies heels.
The current album is called Zombies of Love, published in April 2010, and the video was the winner of the DoRo launched "Rockin Music"award Awards.
So enjoy the video and check out this great band:
