My first stop last Saturday was Graveface Fest in the courtyard and one of the adjacent buildings at Southern Pine Company near East Broad and 35th streets. The aging urban commercial space has the character and the scale to host a wide range of public gatherings.
The Saturday before Halloween is always one of the best days of the year for those of us who love special events and large gatherings.
And this year was especially over-the-top and theatrical.
Triathalon was up first, and they decided to perform in drag. Really bad drag, as you can see in the photos. Their surf rock sound worked just fine in their stripped down, quiet delivery.
Just a note to those hoping to launch new ventures on the weekend closest to Halloween and to those hoping to get exhaustive press coverage even though they’re up against a huge array of other offerings: there are 51 other weekends during the year that you might want to consider.
A new single from the album was released today on NPR Music. That song and the latest video are both embedded here.
Featuring Black Moth Super Rainbow, The Casket Girls, CUSSES, Serengeti, The Marshmallow Ghosts, Dreamend, David Liebe Hart (of Tim & Eric) doing an all puppet performance, The Stargazer Lilies, and Creepoid
