Since it was Samhain we decided to dress up a little. My darling hubsand was an evil demon, robed and tattooed with burning red eyes. I was a zombie.
We had a few odd looks on the way, but it was halloween so most people took us in their stride. One teenager did comment, 'Why are they trick-or-treating? They're, like, twenty or something.' Which halved my age. Score!
Helen & the Sirens were excellent, as always. In fact I'd say that this was their tightest performance yet! And they looked fantastic, terrifying, dressed as Stephen King's Carrie. Prom dresses and corsage flowers were liberally drenched with blood!
Most of their set can be found on their EP (which can be purchased here) but they also performed two covers. The first was Justin Bieber's 'Baby', an hilarious take on the song (you have to hear it to understand...) The second, especially for halloween, was a mash-up of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' spliced with 'Tubular Bells' - just perfect!
The whole show can be seen here, although the sound quality doesn't do their live performance justice.
