The 11th annual Blood Nasty Halloween party is back with a diverse lineup of local rockers. Three-year-old heavy rock group Sudden Deaf kicks off the night with hungry guitar solos and Dozer-inspired shouting. Next is the long-running, Eighties-inspired DAYEATER, making a return to the party, followed by Sodomy Cop’s darker, screechier punk tunes. To close it all out is the refreshingly femme and queer Naga Brujo, whose lighter creations invite rocking with a smile. This Halloween party encourages headbanging – if your costume allows. – Flora Belle Farr
