Thursday, October 31 – Joey’s X: Ramones Tribute and More
Start the weekend off on Halloween night with a tribute to one of punk rock’s most iconic bands, as Joey’s X performs a special set in honor of the Ramones’ 50th anniversary. Known for faithfully recreating the energy and rawness of the Ramones, Joey’s X will be delivering their final show, making this a night not to be missed. Fans of the Ramones and classic punk rock should definitely come out to experience this send-off.
The lineup also features False Flag ICT, a local punk band that’s made a name for itself with catchy songs that blend humor and grit. Their music channels the rebellious spirit of punk while delivering clever and often hilarious lyrics. Completing the night is Definitely Not The Cups, an unconventional addition whose “non-approval” of the show is par for the course. Whether you’re a die-hard punk enthusiast or just looking for a memorable Halloween night, this lineup promises to deliver.

Friday, November 1 – Carrellee, Brave Boy, Remains to be Seen, Jeremiah Foundation
The live music continues on Friday night with a diverse mix of genres ranging from synth-pop to dark pop and alternative rock. Carrellee, Brave Boy, Remains to be Seen, and Jeremiah Foundation will all take the stage starting at 9 PM, providing an eclectic blend of sounds to keep the Halloween spirit alive through the weekend.
Carrellee brings an experimental edge with her haunting vocals and synth-driven soundscapes, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of 80s new wave legends like Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins. Her music explores themes of desire and introspection, with a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. After releasing her debut album, Scale of Dreams, in late 2022, Carrellee has continued to captivate audiences across North America, including shows at notable festivals and tours.
Wichita’s own Brave Boy will be adding to the night’s lineup with their signature blend of synthpop, shoegaze, and darkwave. Fronted by Mary Harrison, whose emotive vocals drive the band’s deeply personal lyrics, Brave Boy’s live performances have gained a reputation for being powerfully expressive, delving into themes like love, trauma, and the complexities of modern society.
Remains to be Seen will bring their distinctive dark pop sound to the stage. Often described as a fusion of “Nine Inch Nails and Mazzy Star,” the duo of Annie Adams and Mason Monigold draw inspiration from a wide range of influences. Their songs mix lush melodies with dark, industrial undertones, resulting in a sound that defies easy categorization.
