Friday & Saturday:
Decadent XXX

Mike Paulus |

With a rich tradition of fishnet stockings and lingerie, the House of Rock plays host to this year's Decadent Cabaret for its 30th year. Nineteen bands across two nights will blow the top off Eau Claire music. The unofficial rule of Decadent Cabaret is to sport a costume that is too scandalous or ridiculous for Halloween, so do your worst and be in good company. ($5, 7pm both nights.)

Friday night: Orestus. Kaptivating Kate, The Daredevil Christopher Wright, Laarks, Meridene, Social Parasite, FanOffBirdSafe, Sicamore, Klenz/Walk Jazz Sextet, and the Jim Pullman Band joins with QuinnElizabeth's Elizabeth and Meridene's Trevor for a Pixies tribute set.

Saturday night: Drunk Drivers, The Shorn, Yam Cannon, Flags Will Cover the Coffins, Tony Basley, No Loving Place, Mors Mortis Machinatio, Children of the Beast, and the Eau Claire Blues All Stars.

Also this weekend: Better in Show, Opera: Albert Herring, Michael Perry and the Long Beds, New Science, Sassy Magoo, Wisconsin Rumble, Heiruspecs, Green Eggs & Ham Breakfast, Annual Chilly Chippewa, Monopoly Tournament, Funky Monks: Tribute to Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Shamrock Shuffle.

P.S. Yes, that bunny up there is rocking a mini double-neck.
