Mr. Pharmacist – featuring Todd Schertzer, Mike Letourneau, Joe Steeves, Glenn Milchem, and Robert Howard – always put on one helluva a show to a capacity crowd every time they play the Linsmore Tavern. The Fall are an English post-punk band, formed in 1976 in Prestwich, Greater Manchester. With an ever-changing line up, the Fall essentially consists of founder and only constant member, Mark E. Smith, who has quipped, “If it’s me and your granny on bongos, then it’s The Fall!! The Fall have a huge Cult following, as does Mr. Pharmacist themselves, which is evident every time Mr. Pharmacist plays the Linsmore Tavern and it’s at capacity!
