Eight Gigs: Sacramento Halloween Show

Wanna see Lou Reed? Smashing Pumpkins? I hear Le Tigre, Kate Bush and Arctic Monkeys are all sharing a bill. Oh, Josie & the Pussycats (pictured) and the family band from the Partridge Family, too. Yeah, they’re still alive, lookin’ swole and definitely not fictional. OK, not really. But to call this a tribute show would grossly undercut the magic of it all. Local musicians make 28 famous bands—under a plant and animal theme, playing 12-minute sets—come alive in a very cool, very fun way. Yes, it does really start at 4 p.m., and you’ll want to stay through midnight. 625 S Street, http://sachalloweenshow
