Happy Halloweekend BISS Listers!!!! The BISS Crew will be ALL around this Halloween week (even Denver) so make sure to check out the full list of shows happening in the calendar below...

If your broomstick is all charged and you are ready to travel, let us give you some options on where you might want to spend your weekend trick or treating!

Sure to satisfy any hunger...ALO has a sweet little run filled with tasty nuggets... ALO's Haunted Carnival of Traveling Freaks & Frights starts off at Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz on Thursday, 10/27. Then continues on to Great American Music Hall in SF on the 28th; The Palm Ballroom in San Rafael on the 29th with a day time stop at Iron Springs for all ages; The Mystic Theater in Petaluma on the 30th; and SoHo in Santa Barbara on 10/31. The theme: ALO'S Haunted Carnival of Traveling Freaks & Frights. Each night they'll explore a different corner of the Haunted Carnival... Voodoo!, Super-Human, Animals, Magic, & Haunted.

Friday starts the 3 day GREAT Harvestival featuring Hot Buttered Rum, New Monsoon, Izabella, Monophonics, Dead Winter Carpenters, Ten Mile Tide, Tracorum, Swamp Zen, and more! The Great Harvestival provides a fun, family-friendly environment to laugh, dance and endulge. The Concow Campgrounds is the playground and the Sierra Nevada Mountains provide the perfect backdrop for this inaugural event.

Through the creation of music and family, artistry and magick, dance and celebration, the festival goer, and all involved in making the Hangtown Halloween Ball happen, will be an intricate part of creating a panacea, a remedy that prolongs life, enabling all to effortlessly pass through the portal between the two co-existing worlds, Living and After.
