As the Halloween spirit kicks in and the excitement around the return to live music mounts, a group of Sudbury musicians of various styles have hosted a special Halloween party at Sudbury’s Spacecraft Brewery.

This Saturday October 30th brings a delicious medley of musical delights: new rock/soul/funk outfit Harvey King & The Grindstone; rap group Magick Show; indie/electronic/alt. pop project The 555; and veteran Sudbury rapper Johnny Bizness.

Plans include prizes for the best costumes, Halloween drink specials, and more. Tickets are currently on sale for $15 in presale at Event Brite, and will go up to $20 at the door.

Headlining the night is the brand new buzzing Sudbury band Harvey King & The Grindstone.

The band is an all-star cast of Sudbury players, including vocalist Will Himsl.

“We are incredibly grateful to be playing in a new location with old friends… no tricks, just treats!” said Himsl.

The group is a six-piece group that plays a distinctive mix of rock, soul and funk. Their 2021 four-track EP release, Bigtime, showcases the bands’ northern ‘rock n’ soul’ roots and serves as a teaser for their full-length album, which is expected to be released in 2022.

The 555 is a multi-genre project originating from Sudbury. Their live shows are a unique experience as they perform live electronic beats without computers, instead opting to play synthesizers, samplers and drum machines live.

This special edition will feature a brand new lineup as the 555 welcomes guitarist Scott Richman to the fold. One thing is certain: expect something new, something exciting and something different.

Magick Show is a horrorcore rap project/duo from Sudbury, who released their debut album Dark Night of the Soul exactly one year before this event – on “devil’s night” 2020 (Hand’Solo Records). Fans of hard-hitting, energetic rap music are guaranteed thrills and shivers.

The debut, Dark Night of the Soul, features contributions from Juno-winning rapper Moka Only (Swollen Members), Juno-nominated producer Fresh Kils, Will Himsl of Harvey King & The Grindstone and more. Magick Show brings the perfect chilling atmosphere for Halloween.

Also featured will be Sudbury rap artist Johnny Bizness, who will perform a mini set of exclusive new material from his upcoming record. The resident DJ will spin a specially curated selection of Halloween party jams between bands.

This special night of terror and fun takes place at Spacecraft Brewery (the former bus station on Notre Dame Avenue). As a bar/restaurant, the indoor venue is subject to provincial vaccine requirements.

Outdoor seating may also be available (ask directly with the venue).
