(MUSIC) The Pharmacy are practitioners of
highly animated synth punk. These spaz-addicts shake a carbonated pop confection of new wave, ska, and vigorous rock 'n' roll until it's near explosion. Live, the trio brings a kamikaze enthusiasm rarely witnessed around town. If you need impetus to
work off that brand-new turkey belly, these guys are more than happy to make you sweat, shake, and stomp to the beat. (
