Pretty much every Wednesday night. The Spazmatics play here in downtown Austin's 4th street warehouse district. I guess my hco gang couldnt hang out past 10:00 pm on a weeknight. Still had a few beers and had a good time. These guys are hilariously good.

  • They're fine, except for the fact that the guitar players are faking it, & the keyboards and backing vocals are pre-recorded. Other than that, a crack band....

    Seriously, an 80s cover band without a keyboardist?!?

  • Are you in a band yourself?

    Did you see them in Austin?

    I know a lot of there stuff is prerecorded vocals and stuff especially Journey's - Don't Stop Believing, But they still have a great crowd going and crack everybody up and everyones having a good time.

  • I personally and from Austin texas and aslo play at cedar street and i think the spazmatics suck fucking balls

  • awe! you sound a little jealous..,, they do pack the place more than any other band...and they are fun to watch. I've seen a few other bands there too, don't remember the names, probably cuz they sucked....

  • There's a lot of incorrect info about this band. It's what's called a track band. Owned by Perfect World Entertainment. PWE has at least 20 cover track bands. More than one Spazmatic band. Thats how they cover different areas of the country. Musicians are great musicians and put on a hell of a show. I love watching them but as a musician I am always aware of all the extra tracks that they are playing along with. Keyboards, backing vocals, percussion etc. Bigger sound. Fewer to pay. Entertaining!

  • lots of haters huh... these guys are great live

  • @monkeytree5

    I saw them last night and they were amazing. and they didn't fake a note!!!!

  • Let the Haters Hate: the Spazmatics can friggin wail anybody who has a negative opinion is only jealous of the mad skillz

  • Believe me the guitarist is not faking. He is superb. I once heard him play Paganini on the guitar, I know, I'm his mom.  If it can be played, he can play it.

  • I saw them about 2 months ago with my cousin and family when i visited and omg it was such an amazing night!! THEY ROCK!!!

  • These guys get paid $7,500.00 per show??? 8.0 Fort Worth makes about 40k on a night when their in town. Not my cup of tea....nowadays you got to have a schtick it seems

  • i know for a fact that the guitarist is not faking.He's my uncle and he also played for David Lee Roth right before Van Halen got back together.

  • @fretpresser Is there a member of the band named "nobody" ?

    . stand closer to the stage next time. listen...watch..compare.., Where did the guitarist get his magical fiddleguitar for Come on Eileen?

    Which one of them is hitting those high vocal notes on Don't Stop Believing?
