I think in this case it really depends on the band and whether or not the video captures an actual live performance or if it's just a collection of live clips sequenced to the song. Also depends on how visually entertaining the live band gets on stage.
Going back to the OP and the fact that it's going to be a 60s style rock tune (psychedelic?) from a local band the first thing I'd invest in is a kaleidoscope and some oil based food colouring. All you need is an overhead projector (shouldn't be hard to find as a media student) plus a fishbowl and you can make all those badass trippy backgrounds just like that.
Even if you go with a theatrical video you could still technically blue screen most of the sky out of your shots and replace it with liquid trippiness.
