So apparently Flight of the Knife is a fucking incredible album. I did not know this until today, but I'm glad to have found this out. It reminds me of Bowie and Queen quite a bit.

Just discovered this band and loving them. I've narrowed down the influences I hear most (before reading this page): Queen, The Beatles, ELO, They Might Be Giants, and Elton John. Any other similar bands people would recommend?

flight of the knife, one of those albums that has never gotten nearly as much acclaim and popularity as it deserves, at least not yet... PS - this band sounds so much like a modern Queen to me more than anything else, though you do hear the beatles there too, especially in sky-ship thunderman
