Share your knowledge - food related bands Part 1

I'm looking to learn about some unfamiliar bands.  Hopefully, this is a thread that can keep on giving.  I have listed 25 bands whose names are at least somewhat food-related.  I am going to create a second thread with 25 additional bands.  Most sub-genres are covered so there is a little something for everyone to talk about.  Most of these bands are rarely discussed within the general threads and rarely show up in polls, but hopefully somebody out there knows things about these bands that they would like to share.  Multiple votes are allowed, so feel free to talk about as many bands that you are familiar with.  I hope that you all have a hardy appetitie for some (mostly) lesser known prog bands.

On this list I've listened to Egg and Magic Pie.

Egg was one of Dave Stewart's first bands.  It's a trio consisting of Stewart on keys, Mont Campbell on bass, and Clive Brooks on drums.  Originally the band was called Uriel and featured Steve Hillage on guitar; he left the band to attend university and the trio continued on changing their name to Egg.  I only have their album "The Polite Force" and it's quite good, though a little difficult to digest at times - it's more psychedelic than the later bands with which Stewart was involved (Hatfield & the North and National Health).

Magic Pie is a neo-symph band from Sweden, I believe.  They've put out a couple albums which I both have, although I don't find myself as enamored with them as I first did when I got "Motions of Desire".  They can be a little heavy at times.

I voted for After Dinner, a band who make beautifully different music. I believe avestin made a thread about them and used one of my cringe-worthy reviews to pad it out. o:) They're listed in avant but their music certainly isn't jazz note hell; I didn't emphasize this strongly enough in my review but what you most get is cabaret, electronica and old musical forms such as marches, all with a neat, peculiarly indie-fied twist.

Haco can really sing, too. =)

I suppose that it would ultimately be between Bondage Fruit and Egg).  There are some others that I've been meaning to check out more. The first that sprang to my mind is not on the list, though, Moving Gelatine Plates.

Apple Pie, indeed!!! Let there be Russian Prog!

So is Electric Tangerine, Electric Fruit, Electric Fruitcake, Electric Apple, Electric Cherry, and Electric Banana.  Would you settle for Electric Orange (I see you've responded to a Tangerine Dream poll, was that your fruity pick)?

I think there may be a case for Electric Apricot's inclusion in the archives, but not until Spinal Tap gets in.  Gotta love Primus...

There is a German band named Apfelkuchen. (Apple Pie).

And something that just came to my mind as a bad joke: How about Cannibal Corpse?

Here is a link to a thread that ProgJester had created concerning Apple Pie prior to their inclusion on PA.  I found this to have some interesting insight into the band. And I like Spock's Beard, so this sounds like Apple Pie might be quite tasty.

I wonder just what kind of 'shrooms the Lord of Mushrooms lords over.  Magical ones, perhaps.
