The music being payed at this Milan Prada show YouTube clip is from the controversial Death in June, a "neo-folk" group (actually, it's mainly one guy, Douglas P.), who utilize Nazi imagery extensively and were banned from playing several clubs in the US due to protesters of their Nazi symbology, imagery, seeming romanticization of nazism, etc. They come on stage in SS uniforms, the band logo is the Totenkompf (Nazi death;'s head), most of their album covers have Nazi artwork (for ex.: http://bp3.blogger.com/_cvZRpnpzzaw/RndNbfTBsdI/AAAAAAAAAO8/h3F1c_mFXxQ/s1600-h/Le+Bianche.jpg), the lyrics have strange allusions to the S.A., especially. Anyway, just a very weird thing to see/hear.
