We just passed the middle of the month! And things are just now ramping up for the cultural and Halloween season.
Thursday Big Deal Burlesque performs their monthly tease at Siberia, but with the addition of the live instrumental surf rock band The Unnaturals. The show is from 8 to 10 p.m. and costs $10. Immediately after the ladies leave the stage, a metal show will begin featuring local bands Donkey Puncher and Six Pack and the Iraqi group Acrassicauda. This Middle Eastern metal band became well known from the 2010 documentary Heavy Metal in Baghdad in which they described the mortal trouble they could be in simply for wearing band t-shirts. This show also costs $10 and begins at 10 p.m.
Where Y’at is celebrating our 15th anniversary with a party at Harrah’s Masquerade from 7-9 p.m.. Marc Broussard will be performing in the theater at 9 p.m. for the occasion.
