Rocktober is filled with an abundance of good music and debaucherous activities for just about everyone, and this Saturday is no exception. Here is a list of things that may be worth your time:
My pick for hotspot of the night? The Masquerade
As always, the Masquerade brings an adventure to any given night of the week. You never know if there is a DJ set down stairs in Hell, a Burlesque show in Purgatory, or a sold out Metal show upstairs in Heaven; And sometimes, if you are lucky, it is all happening at once. Tonight in Heaven, New York "dance punk" darlings Matt & Kim are sure to bring a high energy sing-a-long dance freakout. Always a good time, and everyone knows it (so make sure you get your tickets before it sells out)! Donnis will be opening the show and giving you a little taste of Atlanta hip-hop/soul. Get there early.
In Hell (downstairs) : If you aren't ready to fully commit to a dance party upstairs, singer/songwriter Jackie Greene (who has toured with Huey Lewis, B.B. King, and Taj Mahal) will be there "roots-rocking" your pants off. Folksters Apache Relay (a favorite of mine) will be opening the show. Once again, get there early and prepare yourself for quality Americana rock.
And!!! as if that wasn't enough entertainment... CHAMBERS OF HORROR Haunted House is located behind The Masquerade. It is one of the only haunted houses where you can grab a beer while you wait in line and maybe even get a flash of more flesh than you are ready for! Must, must, must see.
