Spazmatics Rock Sammys in Houston

Throughout the summer, the Spazmatics perform in Houston every Thursday night. I heard all the buzz and hype, so I needed to check it out for myself. If you don't get there early, be prepared to stand in line. I first went there two weeks ago for my friends birthday bash, and I must say I had a grand time. The place was packed, and there was very little space to move. I wasn't expecting to end up at Sammys that night, so I felt underdressed. There were tons of hot girls everywhere, and everyone was standing around drinking before the actual performance. The only terrible thing about Sammys is the high drink prices. Your already paying $10 to get in, so look to spend a shitload of money if you plan on drinking the night away. Once the Spazmatics got on stage, I knew that I was in for a night of Grade A Entertainment. It was liked each member of the band had their own character, and they all did a great job at pumping up the audience. The song selection was outstanding. I'm not a huge fan of 80s Pop Music, but I happened to pretty much know all the songs during the performance. I met the bassist during intermission, and he was pretty cool. I was really surpised at some of the hot groupies standing around. My friends decided to leave early, so I didn't get the see the whole performance. It was all in all a great night. It was fun dancing with a huge group of friends, and I'm always happy experiencing new things.

I ended up going a week later with another friend, and this night topped the previous week. The only thing I didn't like about the performance was that the Spazmatics really didn't change anything from the previous week. They were doing the same songs and same dance routine. I didn't stay the whole time the previouis week, so I had something to look forward to this time. They ended up playing Billy Idol's White Wedding, and I went nuts. I wished that they played more rock songs and my wish was met. The played some ACDC and Joan Jett. I told my friend during the break that I would go absolutley crazy if they played Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. It was almost time for the show to end, and I thought I wouldn't get my wish. All of a sudden they started to play Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard. I was totally singing my heart heart. Then, they closed the show with Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer. I thought I was going to lose my voice singing at the top of my lungs. This topped off a great night that I will never forget. It was also cool because I hyped up the show to my friend. I may have over exaggerated how good the show was, and I didn't want her to leave dissappointed. She said she really had a great time so that was really cool.

I think that anyone in the Houston Area needs to check out this show. I don't think it is something you can go to every week. However, it is a great time and you will not leave the show dissappointed.
