The Strangelets covered “Up And Down” by Pretty Ricky

Enrico Fermi and the Chicago Piles – don’t know their songs but they made a racquet!

Los Alamos Ranch School – covered Rush by playing “Manhattan Project”

Charm & Strange covered Hawkwind’s song “Quark, Strangeness And Charm”

Spectral Lines were the easiest, as they covered Florence and the Machine’s “Spectrum”

SUSY and the Banshees did “Mirage” and “Peek-A-Boo”

I Am Become Death just grunted lines from “Bhagavad Gita” whilst playing very loud guitars & drums.
