"Ohhh, it's Halloween and shit." is what a drunk guy said once as he woke and noticed the moon from his Amtrack San Joaquin seat, one October valley night. We couldn't have said it better ourselves. And with a weekend full of Halloween parties and junk, some music venues are dark. So that just means we have to focus on what's IS going down.
FRESNOOOO. Lets BANDGEEEEK!
FRIDAY
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: Well, Audie's is getting into the spirit all weekend long. Tonight it's "Zombie Bondage Ball" where your normal straight laced zombie can finally let themselves get freaky and bondage each other up. Providing a musical backdrop for this night of zombie kink is Death Alley Motor Cult, From The Fallen, Infinite Agression and Goat (they're quite outstanding). [$5 9pm]
TOKYO HOUSE [PARTY]: If you're in the under 21 crowd this Reedly show (and this show) is really your only option for live music this weekend. This one is good enough though to carry you through with Tokyo Death March, The Escorts, Milford Higgins and Drown The Hero. Heads up: You're going to look like a douchebag if you don't wear a costume. [$1 7pm]
STARLINE: When Grooveyard throws a Halloween party you know, my friend, that Saints Of Insanity, Flailing Down and Synerza are going to be down. [$6 9pm]
SATURDAY
PRESS BOX: All the Fig Garden Loop peeps get something stellar to attend as 12 Gauge Serenade, Down Word, Mercy Fist, The Captial Is Burning and DJ Fuze. [$10 7pm]
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: The streak of Halloween themed shows continues with a "battle to the death" Handlebarz vs. I, Madman. Cleaning up the inevitable mess is Sucker Punch, Crucial Point and DJ Julian.
STARLINE: A fundraiser for and tribute to local, DJ Puba Funk - Glen Perez. Donations will be taken and given to his family.
CREST THEATER: Yes this Sevendust show was going to be a the Woodward Park Amp but they got scared by Kopi's weather reports and moved it inside to the Crest. Locals Say Swear and From The Fallen will be opening - kinda cool.
SUNDAY
VENI VIDI VICI'S: Ms Souflower and Sonic Foundation are strange:
AUDIE'S OLYMPIC: A punking awesome Halloween with Needy Eevy, Born Loser and The 32s:
That's all the stuff we could find happening as far as bands go and junk. If you've got something going on you'd like folks to know about, leave it in the comments. Have a safe but kickass Halloween, Fresnans.
