Devil’s Night is the evening before Halloween, which makes it the perfect excuse to start the spooky season a day early. Gloom Collective and Goth Tea Society are hosting, and they want you in vampire attire with your eyeliner as dark as you dare. Doors open at 6 p.m., the music starts at 7, and the night runs until midnight. Plenty of time to get your bite in.

Three Bands That Bite

CHANT headlines from Austin, Texas. It’s the tribal-industrial-art-rock project of drummer and musician Bradley Bills, and his percussion-driven songwriting digs into primal emotion and social observation. Expect a high-energy live show built on drums first and everything else second.

Vampire Police and Octaveshock round out the lineup, so that’s three bands in one night. Count ‘em, Count Dracula.

A Burlesque Bill With Bite

  • Dalí Darko – billed as the She-Devil of Central Arkansas, she comes up from Little Rock with a fine arts background and professional dance training. She’s a macabre, avant-garde showgirl.
  • Lana Violette – “The Chanteuse with the Caboose” pairs operatic singing with striptease, so the high notes and the glamour arrive together. She also co-founded Radiant Rubenesque Productions and makes and sells Ooh La Lana pasties and costume accessories.
  • Nikita Pearl – Fayetteville’s own has performed with the Tulsa Alternative Arts Collective and River Valley Burlesque, and she’s pulling double duty as one of the night’s hosts.

Shop the Shadows

A spooky makers market fills the Garden and the parking lot, and the lineup leans toward oddities:

  • Elemental Fusion by Christine
  • Trippy Vixen Creations
  • Starlight Thrills
  • Fauna and Folly
  • The Jaded Raven
  • Oo La La! Lana
  • Mr. Van Art

Death Mistress Takes the Decks
