Come As You Aren’t 10/29

We’re going to be performing 3 songs by The Cure for Halloween at the Skylark. This event should not be missed!

The Cure

Skylark’s Fifth Annual Halloween Battle for the Golden Cowbell

Seattle, WA – October 29, 2011 – For the fifth year in a row, local rockers are going incognito for Skylark’s “Come As You Aren’t” Halloween battle of the bands. This show is always free!

All fourteen acts have 3 songs each to wow the crowd and judges, as they out-rock and glam each other for possession of the coveted Golden Cowbell™. Is that Clutch Douglass or Salt ‘n’ Pepa? Hotels or The Misfits? A supergroup formed from combining Stevedore and Mannequin BBQ will channel The Supremes, and experimental band Perish The Island will entertain with selections from Goblin’s soundtrack to Suspiria. Diversity and virtuosity have always set this event apart, and this year’s lineup is no exception.
