Responding to the popularity of last year’s Moonlight Mayhem Fest, Bat Country Booking will again unleash night creatures to play by moonlight. Hallowe’en weekend, Prague will host Central Europe’s only Gothic, Psychobilly, and Horror-punk Fest - Moonlight Mayhem. Splendor (PL) blends visual artistry with sound to give a performance that mixes music and theater, while displaying both traditional glam and modern influences like Marilyn Manson. The night's second band will be Slovak Deathrock legends The Last Days of Jesus, who've been a staple on the Eastern European dark music scene for almost 15 years. Their stage presence and aggressive sound have earned them recognition in the Deathrock, Goth and Punk scenes. The dance party should even wake the dead.

Kadé Chim-CD release @ Hospoda Na Slamniku , (Wolkerova ul., Praha 6) 7:00 p.m.

The Prague/Pilsen based band Kadé Chim does not play klezmer despite the name. They play raw Heart-of-Europe folk infused with punk energy and melodic worldbeat influences, particularly of the Balkan and Irish vein. They’re most likely to be found playing in grungy pubs surrounded by dancers in a state of semi-psychosis.

Scottish Monster’s Karloff will get the blood flowing, then creepy-kitsch, spooky-surf Zombina and the Skeletones (UK) will rattle some bones. Evil Devil (IT) is Psychobilly with substance and style - an aggressive sound and a cross-dressing singer who does a dramatic version of Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita”. Horror-punk stars Blitzkid (US) return to Prague (having supported The Damned in 2007) with their high-energy show and well-crafted songs that have gained them a devoted international following.


Tradeshow FlamingoPark @ Hale C, Drahobejlova 17a, Praha 9

FlamingoPark is the result of a Czech - Australian pair’s lifelong passion. It is the kind of store that is not frequently found but highly worth the wait. Their desire to travel and to collect unusual, strange and charming things has created a very particular atmosphere which makes this store unique. By working directly with the craftsmen, artists and retailers in limited quantities, FlamingoPark assures its customers they will probably not see the same products elsewhere. 
The tradeshow, which will be held on November 1st, is designed to be a non-traditional market, showcasing various fashion and design stores as well as individual artists, in all a mix of original fashion and design as well as flea market style stalls. There will also be a live painting performance as well as live music and DJ’s.

Far from Finished @007 Vlkova 11, Praha 3, Zizkov

described on myspace as 'Like six people emerging out of a Charles Bukowski story, Far From Finished rises from the pages to remind you just how fucked up life is and just how dangerously humorous our filthy little secrets and insecurities can be. They blaze the tragic line between shame and comfort, leaving no one safe along the way. Every song leads you through a story, an opinion, or cry for help. You’re brought back to a time where every breath you drew was innocence, as you fall with every minor and rise with every major.'

4th Nov:

The Real McKenzies (ca) , The Gangnails (cz) @ Rock Cafe 7:30 p.m.

On some of these tours, they shared stages with such bands as Rancid, DragStrip Riot and NOFX.

5th Nov:
 
Anavan (us) @ Klub 007

In the beginning there was… the freezing cold. In high school, some kids do sports, some do theatre; in the harsh winters of Ketchikan, AK kept the three future members of Anavan indoors, staying warm by playing along to their favorite records. Molly Williams (keyboards/vocals) favored AM Top 40 hits, Aaron Buckley (drums/vocals) pounded away to the incessant heavy metal metronome, and Bret Berg (bass) fed himself a steady intravenous diet of Rush, Yes and the Ramones. Finally, Anavan plays a experimental electro music which is a harmonious blend of all these influences.
