Are you ready for some weird? Yance-man's got you covered today on Channel Surfing (5-6).

As my German friends might say: Gott sei Dank, es ist Freitag! Which means it's time for another name the band contest. The first person to correctly identify (in comments) the band that provided this week's pilfered promo will receive a totally Austin-tatious weird AF shout-out on tomorrow night's show. Once again, previous winners might want to hold off for a bit. Thanks and good luck! (Edit: Congrats to Ryan Brush for correctly IDing the 13th Floor Elevators.
