Night Shades, Haggard Cat and other bands to see this Halloween

We round up the gigs you can't afford to miss for the week of 29 October – 4 November. If you can only get to one gig, Garage punks Night Shades come to the always-worth-visiting Shacklewell Arms in London on Tuesday 30 October. Claw Marks, Deep Tan and DITZ support, with Dead Boys Disco on DJ duty. If you're into the Halloween vibe, dress up to apparently “win big”, and get your tarot cards read to boot. All that and entry is free. Halloween 2018 is sorted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8_K1Mw6CQc Haggard Cat, Bitch Falcon and special guests will be bringing their punk rock riffs to Undertone in Cardiff on Wednesday. It seems only right that The Wytches are playing for Halloween. Catch them at Studio 9294. Veterans of the metal scene Will Haven are back in the UK for a short tour. See them in Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham or London this week. Orange County experimentalists The Garden are only in the country for a few days this week, playing Manchester and London as they tour new album 'Mirror Might Steal Your Charm'. With able support from Egyptian Blue, this might be your only chance to catch them on UK shores for a while. TUE 30 OCT / Night Shades @ The Shacklewell Arms - LondonWED 31 OCT / Haggard Cat @ Undertone - CardiffWED 31 OCT / The Wytches @ Studio 9294 / LondonWED 31 OCT / The Garden @ The Garage - LondonTHU 01 NOV / Will Haven @ Rebellion - Manchester Is there a gig we shouldn’t miss, or an event that demands our attention?
