Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem (aka the Electric Mayhem) are the unruly house band for Jim Henson's long-running puppet dynasty, the Muppets. Debuting in 1975 -- the members were based on prominent rock and jazz performers of the time -- the group features Dr. Teeth (vocals), Animal (drums), Janice (vocals, lead guitar), Floyd Pepper (vocals, bass), Zoot (saxophone), and Lips (trumpet). Known for their wild rock & roll antics and reluctance to play classical music, as well as their colorful, psychedelic-themed bus, which eventually morphed into a van, the Electric Mayhem have appeared in various Muppet films and television specials, and on albums, since the mid-'70s. In 2023, the band solidified their place in "the Muppetverse" with their own TV series, The Muppets Mayhem. An eponymous studio album featuring a set of covers and Linda Perry-penned originals appeared later that year, and became the first Muppets-related release to top the Billboard Kid Albums chart.
