Darkness falls across the land…

The midnight hour is close at hand…

Ah, do you remember your prom? A celebration of all your least favorite pop songs that were over-saturated by your local radio station, full of hormone driven misfits dancing around in a trance-zombie-like fashion.

At The Black Lodge, we like to tell it how it is. That’s why we’re putting together ZOMBIE PROM, a chance for you and your sweetie to relive the fun of dressing up with all the post-modern ironic zest of dressing up like zombies! Featuring music that is actually good without the high school dramatics, with a tiny dash of FUN FUN HORROR.

Inflatable Best Friend will be kicking things off with their fun, dance-ready punk rock. Coming on the heels of the release of their new album “DMT Bike Ride,” they should be full of surplus amounts of HAMMAGE.

Arson Party is a progressive metal band with members from both Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo. Best described as hardcore metal as written by a set of meticulous, obsessive-compulsive hands. Their melodically sung lyrics have been known to get stuck in the heads of innumerable Michigan metalheads.

That’s Blood are some local punk rockers with a heavy sound sprinkled with small fingerprints of 80’s California hardcore.

Abortion Survivors are another group of local punk rockers who shred and shred and then, even though one would think t’would be enough of said shredding, decide to shred for additional amounts of time. Speed, pep, and go, that should indeed make the body flow.

Cavalcade are a band from Lansing that perhaps is the closest to sounding directly like some sort of Satanic spell that could summon a veritable zombie apocalypse. Their sound is an evil hybrid beast, with vocals skewing towards what one might find a black metal record with instrumentation that finds an inexplicable place between doom and surf punk.

Show starts at 9. Get in the spirit and come as a zombie with your sweetheart! Or alone in some sort of Halloween costume! You could potentially come by yourself as yourself, but that shows a definitive lack of the ghoulish Halloween spirit.
