Halloween Live at the Five Spot

Featuring: South Side Cindy & the Slip-Tones and Vultus

October 29, 2010 5:30-7:30 Preston Jackson Gallery
Admission: $10/nonmembers, $7/members

A new addition to this year’s party is a looped video by Macomb artist Bruce Walters called Vultus of more than 100 masks that will be projected throughout the evening. Many of the masks are specific to Halloween, but many African, Asian and Native American cultural masks and sculptures of faces and masks are also included. There are also two photographs of masks from the Grammy award winning metal band Slipknot. That same weekend the video will be projected on the exterior of the Figge Art Museum and at Quad City Arts. For more on Vultus, check out the press release.  Vultus Press Release

South Side Cindy and the Slip-Tones will be dressed to the nines to lead the party charge. Everyone can vote by ballot for the one with the best costume to win a blown glass pumpkin by local glass artist, Jeremie Draper. And there will be other prizes for the runners up also! Start planning your prize-winning costume now! Shown at left in a photo by Norm Hodge: Janet Jackson claims her prize for best costume of 2009.

About the Band: South Side Cindy and the Slip-Tones are one of the most vibrant groups to come out in recent years. Loud, rowdy and fun, they tackle pop, rock, blues and soul covers and originals but color them so they seem of the same genre. Cindy Mahieu’s smooth and dominating voice can reach inside you to sooth your personal spirits or instantly raise an audience to the edge of the stage to soak in her energy. The group has achieved a musical unity to which few bands can aspire.
