Another casualty of the DHS expansion was Mulch Sweat and Shears. Known outside of Disney as Los Lawn Boys, this rock and roll cover band performed several times daily on the Streets of America in Disney's Hollywood Studios.

However, "family members" could change from time to time and there was even a "sister" at some point.
As the group's truck traveled down Streets of America, it would suffer an apparent breakdown. As one of the crew lifted the hood in an attempt to find the trouble, the rest of the crew would begin to set up stage. You would soon find out that the worker under the hood was actually working a sound board and this group of landscapers also worked as musicians. What followed was a comedy/rock n roll show which featured some of the great rock songs of the 80s and 90s. The show lasted about 15 minutes and included plenty of corny jokes and even some audience participation. Audience members would be invited to dance, play the triangle or air guitar, and sometimes give them more cowbell!
Mulch Sweat and Shears played their final performance in DHS on October 10, 2015, just 2 days after their 11th anniversary at the park.
You can find many videos on Youtube of that and other performances by this great band.
Since the Streets of America was removed to make way for the Toy Story land and Star Wars expansions, this show lost it's home. But because they were so popular with guests, we hope to find them again someday. I hear there is a great cantina at the Galaxy's Edge! Maybe they are in need of some entertainment.
