Most musicians first get their feet wet by aping their favorite bands for hours in front of their mirrors, so it makes perfect sense that bands would dress up as their favorite acts for Halloween. To wit, Night of the Living Tribute Bands features Olympia's musicians and artists forming one-off bands to pay tribute to some of the greatest acts in music history. While it may be a one night event, some of these thrown together tribute acts practice for months in advance.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING TRIBUTE BANDS, 8:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 31, Capitol Theater, 206 Fifth Ave. SE, Olympia, $8-$10, 360.754.6670
