Just a reminder that Halloweekend, the annual two-day event featuring local musicians masquerading as famous musicians, returns to Montrose Saloon tomorrow night and Saturday. It’s a Chicago tradition, having been staged at several venues on the north side over the years. Some performers mimic the appearance of the acts they’re covering, which adds to the fun, especially when there’s a good dose of humor involved.
Plus, it’s a kick to see some of your favorite bands joyously honoring their heroes. This year’s lineup includes Dead Freddies as David Bowie; Forbidden Kingdom, featuring Ellis Clark and Eric Chial, as The Who; Phil Angotti as Cheap Trick; The 321’s as Nirvana; The Hurtin’ Kind as Wilco; MetroPoly as PJ Harvey; and Rachel Drew as The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Admission for each night is $20. Montrose Saloon is located at 2933 W. Montrose Avenue.
In a separate event, local rockabilly/garage rock band The Amazing Heeby Jeebies will be performing as The New York Dolls at Cally’s on Sunday. The band’s Facebook post promises, “a night of Halloween horror, glam, punk, psychotic inferno fire dancing and old films.” Guests can also enjoy caricatures by Silver Phoenix Art; Firedancing by Valerie, and Windy City Stitch Witch. Admission is $10; Cally’s is located at 1627 W. Howard.
