Halloween Creeps into Concert Series

Decorated with spider webs, ghouls, vampires and toilet paper, the Union Café was ready for a party.  With UV lighting, strobe lights and a lineup of great entertainment, RockYoFaceCase’s Halloween Concert was ready to begin.

The first band of the evening was Mania in Urbania. Their fusion of rock and experimental tunes got the crowd to sway and begin enjoying their night of dancing and spooktacular entertainment.

The Killing Floor picked up the pace after four women from the Belly Dance Team performed on the middle of the dance floor, enchanting their audience with each swing of their hips. The Killing Floor is RockYoFaceCase’s first international performance, coming directly from the U.K. The British men, with their lead singer from Florida, selected six ladies out of the audience for their last song to dance on stage with them as they got the crowd to rock to their sounds. They had a new twist on British rock and with the looks of the crowd’s dancing, they liked it.

PUi ended the show with a blowout. The crowd moved with the fast-paced tribal rock and metal sounds, by jumping up and down with plenty of head banging. This band knew how to get their audience excited. The crowd wanted more as PUi’s sound engulfed the whole café.  Everyone in the band was constantly moving to their own music, getting in their audience’s faces and they were encouraging them to dance harder.  They showed the other bands how to really entertain a crowd.

A new tradition that RockYoFaceCase has started with each show is a contest that is sponsored by Strong Island Recording Studio for free professional recording time. RockYoFace now even has a food promotional pack for a limited time that guests are able to buy from the Union Commons, the Union Deli cash registers or at the door the night of the event. It includes a hot dog, pretzels or fries, and a choice of a smoothie or a “rocktail.”
