Halloween 2005

From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History

This years Halloween festivites... were a mess. Maybe because the "scene" has become so segmentedl maybe because there's so many different genres than there were in years past; maybe because there are so few "headlining" bands.... but there were more than 10 shows in the week before Halloween, most of which on Saturday, the 29th. Attendance was much lower than (some) previous years at most of them, but good times and great costumes were still had by many. Below is a listing of all the punk-related shows that happened in the week or so before Halloween 2005. There were many more "rock"/"hard rock"/metal shows than what's listed. Talk about overkill, eh? Please put any comments regarding a certain show on the Discussion page. Thanks.
