This German "techno pop" group, D.A.F (Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft) blew my mind at art school in West Australia decades ago.
I've just come across them again and discovered they still do!
"Sato Sato" and "Der Mussolini" are my favourites.
The two videos below are studio recordings.
You can see a "Der Mussolini" live performance video from the early 1980's at: http://youtu.be/XwAJXV070OY
...and a 2009 live performance video with the brothers still looking and sounding pretty good at: http://youtu.be/XC_IkFeSVG8
If you haven't heard DAF before, I hope you find them
BTW don't miss the Jeff Beck instrumentals I've added as "antidotes" to DAF - at the bottom of this post.
At the very least watch the two and a half minute "Love is Green" video at the very bottom
as attention grabbing as I first did.
(A smattering of German helps but is by no means necessary. This first video has some amusing cartoons sequences).

Just as a sort of antidote...
Jeff Beck's studio recordings of "Diamond Dust" & "Scatterbrain"
both from one of my all time favourite albums: "Blow by Blow"
followed by "Love is Green".
followed by "Love is Green".
from the "Wired " album.
...gives me an emotional and intellectual lift every time.
The video above has several excellent photographs to boot.

and finally something a little more gentle from his equally brilliant "Wired" album, "Love is Green" - set to a rather cool video animation:
