"Mmm, I'm so sexy."

This is what Swedish techno sensation Gunther, who is decked out in a black leather jacket and skin-tight black pants, utters in a low, guttural voice. His look is topped off with a fabulously coiffed black Euro-mullet and a prominent '70s porno stash that is all pulled together with his trademark aviator sunglasses.

While Gunther's style evokes more of a sense of hilarity than raw sexiness, he is at the very least a train wreck worth watching.

Gunther and the Sunshine Girls' April 20 Bash played for a sold-out show of 950 people at the EMU Ballroom on Sunday night.

This "sexy" performance looked more like a softcore '70s porno crossed with a ridiculous rendition of Aqua's 1997 hit "Barbie Girl."

Gunther's Sunshine Girls, wearing low-cut, skin-tight golden dresses that matched their long bleach-blonde locks, spent the majority of the night shaking their hips to the same beat and feeling up Gunther's leather-clad chest. Their heads rocked side-to-side in a jerky motion that looked eerily similar to a bobble head doll.

Despite their plastic appearance, they nonetheless held much of the real live sex appeal at the show.

"Gunther was cool," said concert goer Ken Crookshank, "but I want to party with the Sunshine Girls."

Much of the audience was drawn to this free show by the "Ding Dong Song," whose music video was made popular on YouTube.

"Oh, you touch my tra la la," sings Gunther. "Mmm, my ding ding dong."

This portion of the performance drew loud screams of excitement, spastic jumping and hand waving from the large audience that was lit up by a series of brightly colored, swirling lights.

"It's a lot of experience, you know, it's a lot of years in the worldwide," said Gunther about his inspiration for the "Ding Dong Song." "You meet a lot of people in lots of countries and it's a whole package. It's lots of feelings, yeah."

With the trippy, spinning light show, Gunther's oversexed hump-worthy performance and the wafts of marijuana stench in the air it made for a perfect 4/20 experience.

Even though it was their self-stated 4/20 bash, Gunther and the Sunshine Girls only found out what the April 20 holiday is all about during their bus ride to Eugene.

"It's good to celebrate everything that makes people happy," says Gunther about his newly discovered American tradition of honoring marijuana on April 20.

Gunther and the Sunshine girls are hoping to debut the music video to their newest song "Pussycat" on the GuntherNet Web site within the next two weeks.

"It's a lot of party, a lot of feelings and dancing and a lot of sexy skin of course," Gunther said about what to expect in the video.
