HALLOWEEN 2010

We checked out Halloween shows by Jack Skuller and his band, and also the Ghost Of Uncle Joe's tribute show at Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery. Jack and his new band performed at the Living Room on Ludlow Street to an all-ages audience of children and parents, and sounded great, from his cover of "C'mon Everybody" to his new song "Lost In Union Square Park," a 60's inflected pop tune. At Harsimus Cemetery, several hundred costumed revelers turned out to hear local musicians impersonate REM, Neutral Milk Hotel, the Descendents, the Misfits, and the Cramps. I missed the first two bands, but the Descendents and Misfits inspired crazy costumed mosh pits and the Cramps (despite some technical difficulties) did a great job capturing the primitive throb of that classic punk band.
