This is easily going to be not only one of the best shows of the month, but also the perfect lineup for a Halloween show. Opening is Shark in the Water, the best shark surf metal band in existence and that’s a fact. A shark fact! Then there’s Super MadNES, the video game metalheads that play covers of ’80s and ’90s video game themes along with other favorites like Robocop and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Headlining is Galactic Empire which plays metal versions of movie themes dressed as heavy shredding characters out of the Star Wars universe. They have a Mandalorian as a drummer. It can’t get any cooler than that!
