Once upon a time, there was a band known as Berserk. The trio's music was punky and poppy and full of the frantic rock headrush typified by the band's name. It made a great many music fans very, very happy. Berserk played a lot and made one really cool CD, but then, a few years ago, the plucky group broke up. Now former frontman Brent Malkus is back in town for a visit, so he and the other former Berserkers -David Cawley and Skizz Cyzyk - decided to reunite for one special night for one special show that also features Dirty Sanchez and Garage Sale. And we all lived happily ever after... 10 P.M., the Ottobar. (Lee Gardner)

The founding members were
