Lots of worthy shows are happening this Halloween—Partman
Parthorse, Truckasauras, the motherfucking Sonics—but what
you really want on this holiday is a manic, satanic party. Diplo
(boss of the record label Mad Decent and DJ for M.I.A. and Santogold)
is sure to deliver just that, mixing fun-sized song treats with
old-skool DJ tricks and monster mash-ups. He could do things to
“Thriller” that would make more than your body shiver. Rounding out the
bill is the wicked electro bounce of London’s Boy 8-Bit, the dark
tropical post-punk of Abe Vigoda, and Telepathe. (Neumos, 925 E
