The Electric Mayhem Tour was a proposed tour to promote an album of songs performed by My Morning Jacket under the guise of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. According to band member Tommy Blankenship, the tour would have featured My Morning Jacket performing backstage, while audio animatronics of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem would have performed onstage,[1] similar to the animated band Gorillaz. The concept was scrapped when the Disney executive who had recruited the band was fired.[2]
The songs "Wonderful," "Friends Again," and "Out of My System" were among those written for the tour/album[3] and have since been performed by My Morning Jacket on albums and tours.
While not an actual tour, the Electric Mayhem ended up performing a full live set at the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival in 2016; and later performed live with the Muppets at The Hollywood Bowl in 2017 and The O2 in 2018. The 2023 Disney+ series The Muppets Mayhem follows the band as they pause touring to record their first studio album.
