Get the mars volta mug.Two individuals, Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, from El Paso, Texas. The band originally formed after their Post-Hardcore band, At The Drive-In, went on an "indefinite hiatus".
Their music is often classified as progressive rock, with heavy punk, jazz and Latin influences. They are known for their wild, energetic, and highly improvised live shows, cryptic lyrics, and use of ambient music to help establish mood.
The Mars Volta is not the entire band. It is only Cedric & Omar. Omar writes, arranges, records and produces all of their music. Cedric writes all of the lyrics. The music is then performed by what Cedric & Omar call "The Mars Volta Group". This includes Isaiah Ikey Owens on Keyboards, Deantoni Parks on Drums, Juan Alderete de la Peña on Bass, Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez on Percussion & Synthesizers, Adrian Terrazas-Gonzales on Flute, Tenor Saxophone, Bass Clarinet and additional wind & percussion instruments (2004 in studio, 2005 in show - Current) Pablo Hinojos-Gonzalez on Guitar & Sound Manipulation.

Get the Voltaire mug.You take a latex sleeve that goes up to your shoulder, like what they use to inseminate pigs, and you roll it in Elmer's glue. Then you sprinkle rock salt and a little bit of broken glass onto the glove so it's stuck to it. Then you shove your arm into someone's asshole and just drag your knuckles up and down along the sides of the colon. Then you shove a rat in there and cork up the ass with wine cheese. Eventually the pressure will build up and the cheese will go flying off spraying fecal matter and blood everywhere.

Get the Voltaire's Angry Glove mug.Best band to form from a breakup in a long while. Plus the intense sound will keep your heart racing while Cedric's lyrics rival the mad genuis of Les Claypool's.
"Was he robbed of the asphalt that cushioned his face? A room colored charlatan hid in a safe? Stalk the ground..."
