Colo

True Banger of a Halloween Show at Clearbrook Center of the Arts

If you’re looking for something loud, weird, and cathartic this Halloween weekend, this one’s a must. The lineup brings together four bands from across the hardcore and underground punk spectrum, promising a night that swings from sheer chaos to fuzzy euphoria.

COLO kicks things off with a heavy, hardcore set that feels like a brick through a stained-glass window — pure energy, no filler. From Lynchburg, A Doberman’s Shadow keeps the momentum razor-sharp with fast-paced, raw punk that sounds like it could combust at any second.

Then comes Powerwasher, a band that somehow manages to fuse the heart-on-sleeve nostalgia of Americana with the sneering chaos of no wave and post-hardcore’s emotional combustion. It’s not easy to describe — think of it as a messy love letter to noise, melody, and madness.

Closing out the night, Sad Roach brings a different kind of intensity — fast-paced lo-fi fuzz that recalls Wavves or Ty Segall, but with frontwoman Sarah Barnfart leading the charge through blown-out hooks and garage grit.

Doors open at 6 PM, music starts at 7 PM. $10 at the door — cash, Venmo, or PayPal accepted. No alcohol, just pure DIY spirit. Come ready to sweat.
