Mac Sabbath @ The Crocodile

The devil finally caught up with Ozzy Osbourne this past July. Now that the Prince of Darkness has moved into another realm, we’ve all been mourning in our own ways.

Regardless of your affinity for Black Sabbath or his solo work, you might contend with this missing hole in your heart by listening to “Master of Reality” on repeat, screaming along to “Crazy Train” while you drive your car just a bit too fast (slow down, maniac) or simply reliving his late-career reality TV surge by binge-watching MTV’s “The Osbournes.”

Or, go with me on this, you can throw the f*** down at the Crocodile with Mac Sabbath, the drive-thru heavy metal band that looks a whole lot like McDonaldland characters (except demonic, allegedly from space and legally distinguishable from their McD counterparts), as they take the piss out of capitalism the only way they know how — by rewriting Sabbath songs to be about fast food.

Completely normal performance art, if you ask me. Nothing weird about a guitarist named Slayer McCheeze powering through songs about getting paid minimum wage to grill low-level beef for a zombified populace. Throw in delightfully handmade fringe theatre props and you’ve got a night to remember. The cult icons will be joined on the bill by San Diego garage rockers the Schizophonics and Descartes a Kant out of Guadalajara.

And for the record, Ozzy was a fan of Mac Sabbath and said so publicly and often.
