This issue marks my four-year anniversary writing for the Ventura Breeze Newspaper. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our publisher, Sheldon Brown, for supporting Ventura\u2019s music scene, and yes, you can even spot him out taking in bands such as Equinox coming up at Squashed Grapes on Saturday, October 28. Live music really does make a difference in building a community and bettering its citizen\u2019s quality of life and Sheldon helps to promote that.<\/p>\n

With Halloween falling on a Tuesday this year, you\u2019ll be able to celebrate longer as most venues will have their bigger soirees over the weekend with the following venues hosting their parties on Saturday, October 28: Discovery features \u201cDawn of the Dreads\u201d with Arise Roots, Legalizer and Sliff Vision; Gigi\u2019s has a special edition of Karaoke renaming it \u201cScaryoky; Grapes and Hops has the Brandon Ragan Project; Keynote Lounge offers the Unusual Suspects; Sans Souci has DJ Darko in the house; Time Bomb will be at the Star Lounge; DJ Nick Dean and the Black Hips will be at The Tavern; Sonic Boom with Paul Mars Black (LA Guns) at Vintura at the Wine Rack; and there\u2019s a special \u201cMischief and Mayhem Halloween Ball\u201d with the Barrelhouse Wailers at Wicked\u2019s Brew.<\/p>\n

Then to help keep the party going on Sunday, the good folks from SPRP (Sunday Punk Rock Party) will be hosting their Halloween bash at Sans Souci from 1-6 pm with Girl Balls, Al Duncan (Alpo) from the Boxheads, COA and Plot. Later that afternoon, Plan B Winery hosts their \u201cHallowine\u201d bash with Midlife Crisis from 4:30 \u2013 7 pm. There will be no cover charge for either of these events.<\/p>\n

If you need help getting into the swing of things, Ventura College presents \u201cJekyll and Hyde Gothic Thriller Musical\u201d over the Halloween weekend at the Performing Arts Center. Showtimes are at 7:30 pm on Friday and Saturday with a matinee on Sunday, the 29th at 2:30 pm.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re a true-blue fan of Halloween, then you\u2019ll still want to celebrate on Tuesday, October 31, and though all venues which are typically open on Tuesday will continue to have their decorations up and be in \u201cthe spirit of things,\u201d Bombay\u2019s will be hosting an evening with tribute bands including Pressgang (tribute to Murder City Devils) and Vandalisms (Vandals tribute); Squashed Grapes will present Tony Ybarra\u2019s annually Halloween party; and DJs will continue the party at Star Lounge with DJ Nolan Trovble, DJ Nick Dean at Sans Souci and DJ Steezy Steve at Saloon BBQ.<\/p>\n

And finally, Topa Mountain Winery in Ojai will host the 10th annual concert fundraiser for Safety Harbor Kids on October 29th featuring Robby Krieger of the Doors, Danny Seraphine (Chicago), Tommy Thayer (Kiss), Phil Chen (Jeff Beck), and a lot more. Go to SafetyHarborKids.org for ticket information.<\/p>\n
