We’re dedicating this week’s Sound Decisions to some of the wonderful happenings surrounding Perish – A Halloween Experience – a collection of performances presented in part by the good folks behind our city’s new spring tradition, Flourish. It’s an eclectic weekend for sure. I think the city has set a record for the most haunted houses per capita this Halloween. They’re everywhere. But…you want to know where they’re not? They’re not at The Capital and they’re not at the ShiftWork Studio. What WILL be happening at these two venues? Lot’s of great music. That’s what.

Four important Fredericton bands comfortably stuffed into an artist studio to do Halloween up right. It’s all ages too. Wowzers. We could blab about this lineup for days but instead, we simply suggest you make tracks to 384 Queen Street, meet some peeps and enjoy some of the city’s best. ShiftWork Studio – it’s like a living room – only louder.
