Clear out your pipes and practice those scales for Inferno's Black Sabbath Karaoke Contest. Do your best Ozzy or Dio impression - or if you're feeling particularly adventurous why not plump with a Glenn Hughes number - to try and make it through the contest. Not much of a singer? Pop along to enjoy the entertainment.
Oct 27, 9pm. Inferno, see event listing.


Oct 28: Yuyintang Halloween Tribute Show

Back at Yuyintang is their popular annual tribute concert, which they attest has the best line-up yet. With the likes of Pantera, The Hives, The Pixies and Nirvana "in attendance," what better way to rock out on Halloween with some classic songs from grunge to metal. There's no mention of a specific dress code but we're sure Yuyintang wouldn't mind if you 'Come As You Are.'
