West Michigan boasted a robust roster of Halloween celebrations last weekend, but there are way more costume-crazy parties and concerts to check out as October screeches to an end. The list at Local Spins.
When members of Garbage Angel — West Michigan’s self-proclaimed favorite Halloween cover band — unearth an evening of terrifying cover tunes aimed at “scaring the hell out of you” at Grand Rapids’ SpeakEZ Lounge tonight (Monday), they’ll kick off a week of musical mayhem full of tricks and musical treats.

“You bring a costume, we’ll supply the gigawatts,” Garbage Angel frontman Morgan Foster declared of the band that also features Jordan Good, Troy Reimink and Chris Riemersma.
Doors open at 7 p.m., with music starting at 7:30 p.m. Monday (Oct. 28). Get details online here.
(One note: Due to unexpected kitchen equipment renovations, only the bar will be open at SpeakEZ on Monday night. After that, SpeakEZ will be closed for a few days, so Wednesday’s Local Spins show featuring Silver Creek Revival has been canceled. SpeakEZ reopens on Thursday.)
