Halloween is a spectacle in Austin. Head out after dark anywhere around Congress or 6
th St. and you're sure to see costumes running the gamut from scary to gross to funny to perverted. Many of the clubs host themed parties as well. One very cool sounding event,
Zombie Ball, is happening at the
Seaholm Power Plant this Saturday, October 30. The plant hasn't hosted many shows, but it is a stunning art deco backdrop to a performance in a great spot right on the river.
Roky Erikson, Austin's favorite reclamation rocker, is headlining. The White Ghost Shivers bring their weird mix to the party as well. Plus more music (see below) and art, which apparently will include some sort of mini-opera dubbed ‘The Waltz of the Forbidden Flesh.’ Here's what the official site says: "
Darkness never looked so delicious! A community of artists lead by Cameron Jordan Artistry will be producing a Haunte’d Coutoure fashion show. Unlike any fashion you have seen, The Waltz of the Forbidden Flesh will be a mini opera inspired by drag shows, and deeply twisted sexual mythology, drivin’ by raw Austin rockin roll!"
Hmmm. Well, take a peek for yourself. If that doesn't grab you, show up for
Roky. Don't forget to wear something gross.
