Indulge in the immortal spirit of an art, rock and riot grrrl band reunion at the Warehouse Gallery. With free admission and attendance for all ages, this short set is a treat among the tricks. Doors open at 6 p.m., the music begins at 7 p.m., and all donations in place of admission support Workers Center of CNY.
Pink Rock Co-Op Teen Punk Show
A show for all ages, this costume party promises a fresh lineup of punk artists that might possess your music taste—with performances from Over the Edge, Trilith, and more. Don’t forget to dress in your most ghoulish attire and bring $10 as you head to 201 E. Jefferson St. at 6 p.m. No gore will be featured at this event.
Smokestack
It’s not Halloween without a murderous, axe-wielding maniac somewhere in the mix. Smokestack is hosting the second round of their spooky-spectacular on 813 Euclid Ave. at 10 p.m. Set your alarm and return from the dead for the subsequent third round on Oct. 31. Same details, but a whole new nightmare!
