Thursday, August 19 is the last of the 2010 seasonal performances! The Spazmatics will play from 6:30-8:00pm at downtown Mountain View’s Thursday Night Live. Castro Street will be closed to traffic from Evelyn to Mercy Street and attendees will be able to enjoy restaurant dining, shopping, kids’ activities, farmer’s market, live music and custom/classic cars on display.

“If you want to be sent back to the 80’s, The Spazmatics are the ultimate experience. The band lends it’s geeky charm to performing 80’s hits complete with “nerdography” and “spaztic” movements. They add a unique dimension to their performance, demonstrating the common ties between 80’s new wave and today’s popular music.”
