Here's what's cool this month!
Local H
October 9: Have you or a loved one suffered damages by seeing the '90s become a chintzy Spirit of Halloween costume? If so, the remedy is simple: a dose of Local H's dynamic live show is sure to reinvigorate the aching seams of your grunge flannel.
Rooftop Raps
October 12: For Vegas musicians, the analogue of the hat trick in hockey is doing a show in all three sections of Taverna Costera.

When We Were Young Side Shows

Ranger Roscoe Rides Again! (... again)
October 18-20: Due to popular demand, the Scoundrel of the Sage is presenting an encore presentation of RANGER ROSCOE RIDES AGAIN!

The Crane Wives

Waitress
October 25: So, full disclosure... I don't know where this show is lol.
Okay, it's not hard to find out, you just have to DM the band. But it's definitely worth checking out. Waitress is a unique multi-genre band that's quickly blowing up.
