Opening this Friday, Funhouse looks to be a great show.  Featuring Taylor McKimens, Matt Leines, Ben Jones, Misaki Kawai, Don Porcella, Kathy Grayson, and Carly Haffner expect only happy thoughts when you enter Park Life Gallery in San Francisco.

One of my favorite movies of all time, Cheech and Chong’s “Up in Smoke”. If you did not know they are back together on tour. Their history has been rocky. They broke up when Cheech wrote a movie without Chong and weed. Since then they had been on hiatus, until now. Check them out, Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m. at Capital One Bank Theatre at Westbury. Tickets.

Just one more clip.

Blackest of the Black Festival feat. Danzig comes to NYC October 15th.

The Roseland Ballroom’s celebration of dark, metal is not for the faint of heart or weak of ears. Glenn Danzig’s headlines, along with Norway’s Dimmu Borgir sound like turbocharged chants from the Middle Ages, with raspy verses and captivating orchestral passages — they’d be perfect for a horror-movie soundtrack. Portuguese metalheads Moonspell wield guttural screams and driving bass lines, while Winds of Plague and Skeletonwitch bring more variations on the theme. For more info check out Flavorpill.
