Ok, maybe the title of this post is a bit deceiving as it’s not technically Halloween this weekend. But, when a holiday falls on a measley Thursday night, what are you to do?! Celebrate the weekend before AND the weekend after, of course! This year our calendars are full of pre-Halloween parties, especially on Saturday the magical 26th- everything from masquerades to warehouse raves! Plus, we’ve gathered a bunch of the best (non-halloweeny) concerts going on this Thurs-Sun!
#10 Chat Logs, Heaven’s Gate,Unstoppable Death Machines, Banned Books, Video Daughters @ Shea Stadium (SAT 9 PM) $?
We were extremely impressed with Heaven’s Gate‘s new “powergaze” album Transmuting (out today viz Inflated Records) and can bet that they’ll flesh their new songs out with whole new level of intensity live. Catch them among this impressive lineup at Shea on Saturday.
#9 Boys Noize @ Output (THURS 9 PM) $15-30
Anyone who knows the UK’s EDM DJ Boyz Noize knows that he knows how to party. Expect this show to go LATE.
