Step right up for a rock n roll circus extravaganza this Halloween starring internationally acclaimed musical cabaret extravaganza Reverend Heathen StrangeFellow and the VaudeVille Vagabonds as they unleash an awe-inspiring production of epic proportions on both the front & north bar stages. Joined by the CD release party for stellar drunkabilly music makers The Milk Pipes, and friends The Fatalz, this show will have you boozin and floozin in the best moonshine tradition!

REVEREND HEATHEN STRANGEFELLOW & The VAUDEVILLE VAGABONDS is a gypsy rock circus show with live music, exotic belly dancers, contortion, sword swallowing, clowns, audience game shows and even werewolves fighting Mexican wrestlers! Musically inspired by the likes of Gogol Bordello and Tom Waits, the shows are akin to a grass roots Cirque du Soleil in the form of a swing/rock band with coed vocals and instrumentation including standup bass, accordion, clarinet, baritone saxophone and drums. "Acrobats, monsters, belly dancers, a Riverboat Queen, and the best undefinable and amazing music I've experienced in decades!" -- J Andrew Banks (journalist/photographer) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heathen-Strangefellow-The-Vaudeville-Vagabonds/196539523717512

The MILK PIPES - Sounding like a '63 Impala comin' sideways around a corner on two wheels, The Milk Pipes always drop the hammer on their original tunes with a joyful and reckless abandon. Tube amps and classic guitars slash against the solid punch of a rhythm section born to serve the song while keys and ukes underpin the whole cacophony with delicious counter melodies. http://www.themilkpipes.ca

The FATALZ - '70s punk-inspired vest rock! http://www.facebook.com/TheFatalz
