On Saturday, the Casbah hosted the Schizophonics' live stream for their only show of the summer - strange times indeed that we are living in! Although there was not a live audience (other than a few friends/workers), the Schizo's still put on a full-throttle, high-energy show, with Pat leapin'n'dancin' non-stop, to the extent that he literally tore the soles off of his shoes! (No joke!) From the opening "Black to Comm" (MC5, of course) through to the last note, they blasted through songs from their various records, along with wild covers of Roxy Music and more, only taking breaths to take a few phone calls  (!) and online requests. Totally fun and this is the kind of show that makes me miss live music!

Hopefully, we can get back to normal again sooner rather than later, so we can get back to rockin'n'rollin'n'rantin'n'ravin'! Note: If this band can wear masks while performing, you can wear a mask to go to the store!
