Mac Sabbath Supersize The American Cheese Tour
Mac Sabbath
W/ OkillyDokilly, and Playboy Manbaby
Sunday August 18,
Iron Oak, Melbourne, Florida
Alright, this was my second time around for both Mac Sabbath and Okilly Dokilly, who are, a match made in music heaven. And the take 
away from round two, is both bands have improved, evolved and refined their unique brands.
Mac Sabbath, who teeter precipitously on being a single, glorious gag, defied expectations by expanding their musical vocabulary, and allowing their show to become more. Opening with their reading of “Organic Funeral” (Electric Funeral). The band added “The Lizard” (The Wizard), complete with new dry skinned life sized reptile blowing soulfully on harp. Also new to the set was the cover of Motorhead N’ Shoulders, “Killed by Pets.” (Killed by Death).
Late in the set, the band busted out a medley of classic Sabbath riffs, acknowledging their musical muse’s long and storied legacy. The jokes are still funny. The sight gags still work. But in the 2 years since I first saw Mac Sabbath live, they have upped their game. The show was always deeply amusing, but now their musical interpretations have taken on a more nuanced and solid delivery that only constant roadwork can bring about. What people often fail to notice about a Mac Sabbath show is when’s the next time you’re going to be able to hear really good Sabbath renditions up close in a small space?
Mac Sabbath’s musical development promises the band has plenty of gas to keep them on the road for years to come.
Okilly Dokilly, the worlds finest Heavy Nedal band was amaze-a-rino!
And seeing them again less within the year, showed the band also becoming increasingly formidable as a result of all the miles logged in 
their Ned Vanders. The band tighter than before, were increasingly brutal-ino, and delivered a scorching set. “You’re a Jerk,” and “White Wine Spritzer” were highlights.
For the closing number, Head Ned performed and enticing, yet strangely modest striptease as he doffed his iconic green sweater and pink polo to reveal a spandex body suit as the band played a surprisingly true to form rendition of Santana’s “Smooth.” The band launched into a solid reading of “Nothing at All,”
Profoundly entertaining, as performance art and as music, Okilly Dokilly were the diddliest ever.
The show kicked off with Playboy Manbaby are a cuisine art combination of ridiculousness, which for this tour is more than appropriate. With shades of the B-52’s, The Sparks, and countless spazzy underground bands, Playboy Manbaby were absurd fun. “You Can be a Fascist Too,” is big, dumb, and fairy accurate. As is “Strange Plastic Surgery.” This Phoenix, Arizona band is absurd fun. The remedy for everyone sick of musicians with something profound to say. They really ought to be featured as the band performing at a frat house in a no budget comedy.
Catch all of these fine artists on The American Cheese Tour, now!
