The Spazmatics: The Spazmatics were born in the spring of 1983 when physics professor Kevin Stigwood of Alta Dena High in Thousand Oaks California, lost a debate over String Theory to an upstart pupil in front of the entire student body and faculty. As agreed to by both parties, the loser would have to do anything that the winner demanded, and the victorious prodigy demanded that Mr. Stigwood perform “She Blinded Me With Science” by Thomas Dolby during half-time at an upcoming state basketball championship game. Having no musical background and desperate to not go down in total humiliation, Professor Stigwood formed The Spazmatics by tapping the genius of electronics teacher Sidney Baderman (AKA “Sid Sonic”), who had achieved international acclaim in 1981 for his invention of “robot” drums. When Baderman (who was also the girls water polo coach at Alta Dena Middle School) explained that most of the music could be generated by computers, and that all he needed was a couple of decent musicians to complete The Spazmatics, Stigwood was ecstatic. To make The Spazmatics complete, Stigwood brought in his special needs brother Curtis on bass, and teacher’s assistant Rusty A. Woosmeir (AKA “The Raw”) on guitar. When The Spazmatics took center court that evening, members of the hip elite began heckling them with jibes of “geek” and “nerd,” while everyone else howled with laughter. But once they broke into the opening salvo of “Science,” the nonbelievers were stunned by the group’s authenticity of production, world class musicianship, and tight choreography. The Spazmatics performance came to a climax when Stigwood grabbed one of the cheerleaders and began doing the “Belinda” up and down the court with her in tow. When it was all over, the crowd rose in a standing ovation, and The Spazmatics were born. From the creators of the Fabulous Boogie Knights comes the Spazmatics. All the awesome sounds, styles, and way cool dance steps from the 1980’s decade we’d love to forget. Complete with skinny ties, Brill Creamed hair, and horn-rimmed glasses, The Spazmatics recapture all the best of the worst. Outstanding musicianship combined with creative flair and style makes for an evening of pure energy and entertainment. So tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1999; only it’s not! The Spazmatics.

Without Warning: Without Warning: A NEW SUPER TRIBUTE BAND CONCEPT Music is such a powerful part of our culture and today’s audiences still want to see their favorite bands from the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s. This phenomenon has led to the popularity of “tribute” bands. Without Warning decided not to be your run-of-the-mill tribute band. Let’s create a “super tribute” band that played what audiences really want to hear. No boring “B” sides, only the best classic rock songs ever written. This unique niche would give the audience what they crave…the best classic progressive rock songs from a dozen different groups in one concert experience. Of course, to be successful, Without Warning would need to be able to perform these great songs live…and do it proficiently and expertly. Only one problem…the best progressive rock songs are very difficult to play and there are only a handful of musicians capable of performing the songs correctly. Imagine a set consisting of the following rock classics replicated with studio version precision: Kansas – “Carry On Wayward Son”; Rush – “Tom Sawyer”; Deep Purple – “Burn”; Journey – “Separate Ways”; Dream Theater – “Pull Me Under” and many, many more. Without Warning brings to the stage a high energy, powerful show that will truly rock the venue. We hope to see you at our show. Until then, Keep Rockin’…HARDER!!
