[ATTENDED: August 27, 2019] Mac Sabbath
When I saw that Okilly Dokilly was opening for Mac Sabbath I had to check out who this band was. They’ve been around for a few years and this was their “American Cheese Tour” (that’s a good one).
And so basically, they are a Black Sabbath cover band, but all of their lyrics are about McDonald’s and the fast food industry in general. So that’s pretty funny. But that’s not all. They have taken this concept to an absurd length. Each band member is costumed or wears makeup. And the costumes are phenomenal–not cheap little handmade things, but remarkably detailed and well constructed heads and bodies. The attention to detail is really impressive.
The band members are also completely anonymous, which is also pretty funny. And that is why they have such great band names:
The lead singer is Ronald Osbourne.
The guitarist is Slayer MacCheeze
The bassist is Grimalice (the least impressive name, it’s Grimace with an Alice in Wonderland hat on, but his other name is brilliant: “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butler.”)
On drums is Catburglar or Criss Cut Fries (he is dressed like the Hamburglar with Peter Criss Makeup).
I didn’t really think too much about the music before the show, I just wanted to see the stage show. (more…)
