Papa Roach
Shaw Conference Centre • Oct. 31
$49.50 | Ticketmaster
Once again it’s time to head down to 100.3 The Bear’s annual Halloween shindig and disease-swap. That’s right, kiddies, it’s Howler time! So dress up in your sluttiest garb and bring the Tylenol, because you’re going to have a hangover, you silly goose. Papa Roach will be leading the charge onstage while your girlfriend is busy holding Little Bo-Peep’s hair in the bathroom while she barfs lambchops all over Dorothy’s ruby slippers. We’ve all been there, so don’t judge — and happy trick- or-treating.
DOPPELGÄNGERS
Bands as Bands
Starlite Room • Oct. 31
$15 | At the door
This is going to get confusing, and after the sugar buzz from the Halloween candy kicks in, it’s sure to get sticky. Here’s a few of the switcheroos going on — try to keep up: The Secretaries = Heart. Raygun
Cowboys = The Ramones. 40 Thieves = Thin Lizzy. Hippychick = Operation Ivy. The May-Kings & Friends = Velvet Underground and Nico. Down the Hatch = Sublime... Okay, that’s a start; to go on would be ridiculous considering we haven’t even touched upon the DJs who will be dressing up as DJs.
BLOCK PARTY
Homefest 2008
TransAlta Arts Barns • Nov. 2
$10 | TIX on the Square
Last year Ed Stelmach promised $1 billion in funding to help the province’s homeless problem. However, we haven’t seen a penny yet. So, more than 30 social agencies have taken matters into their own hands. They don’t expect $1 billion, but they do have five hours of music lined up to help raise funds for agencies that deal with the issue of affordable housing. Barney Bentall, Chloe Albert, Tom Taylor, and Shari Ulrich are just a few of the crew headlining this gig. Come on, Ed: put out or get out — no one likes a tease.
