Skeleton Show freaks out at Bender’s on April 7

The Skeleton Show (due at Bender’s Tavern on Saturday, April 7) exemplifies the free-spirited fire of ’60s garage bands who sat on the cusp of psychedelia and waded deep into that dirty musical water more than half the time. With a raw live performance in which some bandmembers come dangerously close to hurting themselves -— and sometimes do — the Skeleton Show isn’t just copping someone else’s cool. Lots of people have re-rediscovered Nuggets, surf, and stripped-down rock and roll in the past half-decade and more. These guys look and sound like they’re living it.
