The Spazmatics - TX
Eight words that I would have bet money would never come out of my mouth while standing in a dark, crowded, night club. But sure enough, one Thursday night at Sammy's in downtown Houston I found myself saying just that.
The Spazmatics are a rockin 80's cover band, covered from head to toe in what can only be described as pure 1980's nerdiness. They played three sets of quintessential 80's pop classics, everything from Girls Just Want to Have Fun to 99 Luftballoons, all while performing perfectly planned choreography. The energy in the room is pure 80's cheesetasticness and will have you doing the Carlton dance in no time.
Currently, the guys are playing every Thursday night at Sammy's on Main. Although paying a cover ($10 in this case) to get in anywhere goes against everything I stand for I folded just this once, and I'm glad that I did. I highly recommend valeting, parking around there can be difficult to say the least. Sammy's is rather small as far as night clubs go, so expect to be packed in like hot, sweaty sardines until after the first set but people will start to filter out after that.
Pros: Top notch entertainment, good time, 80's music
Cons: Parking, cover, cramped, no drink specials
Cons: Parking, cover, cramped, no drink specials
Bottom Line: Grab your friends, geek out on brat pack movies and chocolate Yoo-hoo, and check these guys out. Totally outrageous!
