You one of those people who sits around bemoaning the fact that "rock 'n' roll has, like, totally lost its spark, man?" Well, allow us to introduce you to theatrical rockers Foxy Shazam. Entertaining barely scratches the surface; Eric Nally and his circus of musicians put on one hell of a concert.

Last time they were in town, they performed with fellow show-stoppers The Darkness and held their own. A band that puts on such a lively performance is not to be missed.
