The great Halloween tradition of dressing up like another band and playing a bunch of their songs continues this week. If you’ve never been to a coverup show, let me tell you, it’s nearly always a great time. Obviously, it helps if you’re a fan of the band being coverupped, and this year, White Water Tavern has two nights lined up, with folks from local bands taking on some pretty legendary bands.

On Friday, The Wicked Good and Bryan Frazier take on The Smashing Pumpkins, while The Canehill Engagement brings us the hits from those sublimely maudlin Mancs, The Smiths, and Matt Quinn, David Slade and Adam Sweet tackle the timeless pop-punk of Jawbreaker.
