˝Skafish is an American, Chicago-based punk band, fronted by Jim Skafish, cousin of Chicago area DJ Bobby Skafish. The band was formed in 1976 and had their first performance that November.˝
˝In 1977, Billboard magazine printed a review of the band’s performance as the opening act for Sha Na Na at Chicago’s Arie Crown Theater. Finding Skafish to be a *”peculiar appetizer for the straight, conservative crowd”* that Sha Na Na attracted, the reviewer stated that *”[l]arge numbers retreated to the lobby halfway through Skafish’s set, while others approached the stage, threatening with missiles, gestures and denunciations.”* Jim Skafish himself was described as *”a 20-year-old musician from Gary, Ind., who appears to be in transition between man and woman … dressed androgynously, hair in a pageboy,”* who at one point in the show *”strips down to a woman’s bathing suit and nervously applies lipstick to the face.”* While describing the band’s music as *”strange, inward-directed lyrics [set] to a repetitious and often dissonant accompaniment”*, the reviewer noted that Skafish *”gave the impression that he had something to tell the audience about itself. … Yet it remains to be seen whether Skafish has something to say and to whom.”*˝
