Saturday To-Do: ACAC Halloween Cover-Up
ACAC HALLOWEEN COVER-UP
9 p.m., ACAC Space. $5-7.
As in years past, the Arkansas Community Arts Cooperative has assembled a wildly diverse slate of local folks to not just cover but fully impersonate iconic acts. Lots of potential here. Members of Style Guide and Hector Faceplant will be blonde-wigged-up and pop-hooked-out as pop sensation ABBA. Which, hopefully, will be paired with Minneapolis post-punks Husker Du, as covered by Do You Remember, an ad hoc band made up of members of the Thing That Always Explodes, the Evelyns and the STDs. Or even better, next to the quintessential Halloween band, the Misfits, as realized by Little Rock's God City Destroyers, who, at least based on their photo on MySpace, seem to have that burly, Danzig thing going on. Also on the bill: a collection of UALR music students doing Blondie and local punks Jungle Juice doing hardcore heroes Infest. Those in costumes get in for $5. There's a $50 costume contest prize.
