It’s Halloween weekend. You know how it goes.

by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com

Halloween weekends music-wise are usually dedicated to cover bands, tribute shows and amateur drinking. You get plenty of all three if you go out to the venues tonight and tomorrow night. And you better be wearing a costume.

Cover bands and tribute shows are fine, but pose no interest to me. The 1% properties are doing all covers/tributes Friday/Saturday night. Enjoy.

Then there’s fabulous O’Leaver’s. Tonight it’s DJ sets starting at 9. $5. For Halloween, O’Leaver’s is featuring Sucettes, Dead Flower Preservation Society and the hottest local music commodity these days, High Up. $5, 9:30 p.m. and yes, it’s a costume affair.

There is one local show that doesn’t appear to have a Halloween theme. Tonight at PS Collective it’s a meeting of Benson singer/songwriter/folk brotherhood: Korey Anderson, Midwest Dilemma, Jason Ferguson and Brad Hoshaw. Performances start early, at 7 p.m. No idea if there’s a cover, so you’re on your own.

And that’s it for the weekend. If I missed your show, put it in the comments section. Have a happy Halloween.
