San Francisco Halloween Bash: Everybody Gets Slayed
by The Scene on October 25th, 2008
Hey there ladies and gents, been a long time since we’ve posted anything, what with the economy, an addiction to shwarma, and a man-bear hybrid that refuses to stop chasing us around. Luckily, that quick bastard is taking just enough of a breather to let us chat about the place to be this Halloween. The Scene and some of our best buddies are getting together this Friday, Hallow’s Eve, at Irelands 32 for an excellent show and party, aptly dubbed “Everybody Gets Slayed”. Theme of the night: Haunted Saturday Morning Cartoons. Do you remember the theme song from Dino The Last Dinosaur? We don’t, but you can make up the words if you’re hammered enough. The gist:
1. It’s an Irish pub in which you don’t have to be embarrassed that you blame witchcraft and illiteracy on the beer you just spilled on yourself.
2. From 7-8, you can get your body rocked by hot spins from DJ Hot Rod. He’ll make you dance, we promise.
3. From 8-9:30, your favorite indie insaniacs Dubious Ranger will be powering through earth-shaking art-rock and freak-out pop– including covers by none other than David Bowie, Blondie, Talking Heads, and The Beatles– and blowing you away in general. They will be dressed as Ghostbusters, fucking aye.
4. There will a costume contest that won’t make any sense because that guy who spent $1000 and 40 hours building his Mum-rah outfit will lose.
5. 10-12: Your favorite hair rock + polka/klezmer 8-piece funk band, Sex With No Hands, will hit you across the face with 1.2 Gigawatts of laser-light-show power and accordian+vocoder sexual magic.
6. 12-onwards: best Halloween afterparty in town, featuring Portland’s Excellent Gentlemen. Imagine Chromeo, but more slow-jams, and they can actually sing without autotune. Yaaaaay.
7. Did we mention the entire night will feature a huge laser-light-show? Yeah guess we did.
This all sounds awesome. The Scene says Go.
