The Schizophonics, Northcote Social Club, 8th March 2023 by Mary Boukouvalas
San Diego’s dynamite Schizophonics, whose first two brief and BC (before covid) Australian visits in 2019 and early 2020 back blew the minds and burst the hearts of everyone who saw them. Returning on the back of their latest LP ‘Hoof It’, the Schizophonics will reaffirm your faith in rock’n’roll. Over the last few years this high-energy trio, which is formed around the dynamic husband and wife duo of singer/guitarist Pat Beers and drummer Lety Beers, has built up a formidable reputation around the world as an explosive live act – one that taps into the same unstoppable combination of unbridled rock ‘n’ roll energy and showmanship that fueled The MC5 in the heyday of the Grande Ballroom in late ’60s Detroit.
