In February 1976, a tremendously innovative and pioneering artist began shaking things up in the Chicago club scene. Skafish (Jim Skafish) and his band hurled a never-before heard or seen sensibility at an unsuspecting public. Skafish's appearance alone--a huge hook nose, meaty 6 foot 3 frame, and the suggestion of breasts that was underscored and emphasized by degradingly gender-bending clothing, stunned audiences. The lyrics and music were equally overwhelming.
These are photos from concerts where Skafish played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
