[ATTENDED: June 16, 2025] Halloween
I
first heard about Warehouse on Watts back in 2021, when some kind of Yves Tumor Halloween show was being presented there. I didn’t understand what was happening that night and really had no idea what to think of this venue. I’ve only been interested in the venue one other time since then, but I didn’t go to it. But here at last was someone (Hello Mary) that I really wanted to see and they were playing there.
Imagine my surprise to find out it’s a block away from The Met Philly. It’s a cool, small club with a short stage and walls that you can lean against if need be. I really liked it and would happily go back.
So I arrived really early and was able to check out the place a but before Halloween started. I can’t believe that in 2025 a band can call themselves Halloween and there’s no real conflict. Has no one ever called their band Halloween before?
Halloween is a Philly based band and they play an interesting mix of sounds. They are probably based around shoegaze, with fuzzy swirling guitars. The vocals are quiet ( I often couldn’t hear them, but I could tell there was singing). Guitarist Sia Dokos (who also sang lead sometimes) played really cool interesting chords and noises and I wished that I was on their side of the stage to really see what was going on). (more…)
