The Menagerie and Monarch Halloween Show

Celebrate the season with the spookiest bands in town! Enjoy a night of tricks and treats from local bands MONARCH and THE MENAGERIE. Doors open at 6:30 pm, followed by music at 7:00 pm. Costumes Encouraged!
The Menagerie
Get ready to groove! The Menagerie is a 4-piece funk/jam band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Originally starting as a folk revival project in lead guitarist Matthew Smith’s (He/him) freshman dorm, the Menagerie has begun to stretch their legs, continuously reaching deeper into the ether of sound. Influence from Americana, funk, and indie rock creates a feeling of nostalgia, while improvised solos and jams make performances feel fresh and personal.
Monarch
Monarch is a six-piece funk rock band from the Twin Cities, MN. With each member coming from different backgrounds, such as blues, jam band, alternative rock, hip-hop, metal, and EDM, they blend these influences into a cohesive funk-rock sound that isn’t afraid to push boundaries. The result is a diverse collection of songs and high-energy shows that captivate the audience. Their latest single, Commodity, captures everything you love about the band

Of the Orchard with Alley Eyes and Pity Party
2025-10-25 18:00 - 22:00
Of the Orchard
Minneapolis-based pop-rock band Of The Orchard proudly defines themselves as “not, not a boy band.” Marked by a tinge of youthful angst, Of The Orchard pairs a nostalgic sound of 90s and early 2000s rock (Third Eye Blind, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World) with narrative, sentimental lyrics (Dawes, Noah Kahan, Kacey Musgraves). This combination gives listeners thoughtful lyricism supported with upbeat, hook-driven rock. Their songs tell stories familiar to anyone who’s ever endured the transition into adulthood: finding purpose, coming to terms with identities you’ve outgrown, and falling in and out of love.

Alley Eyes
Alley Eyes—Milwaukee’s pop rock darlings—loud, stylish, and unfiltered. Born out of the city’s DIY scene, the four-piece blends sharp hooks, gritty guitars, and a touch of chaos into something that feels both nostalgic and brand new.
Their latest EP bondage in the afternoon is a coming-of-age soundtrack for anyone who’s ever danced through heartbreak or lit a cigarette just to feel cinematic. With nods to The Strokes, The Beaches, and Inhaler, Alley Eyes channel early-2000s indie with a Midwestern heart

Pity Party
Pity Party is a Minneapolis based indie alt rock band. They incorporate elements of bedroom pop and midwest emo into their music. The band has Abbie on vocals and keys, Tim on guitar, Micah on bass, and Bryan on drums. They have spent the last year together writing new music and performing at local venues around the twin cities. They have been compared to the likes of Muse, Peach Pit, and Mitski, but they are really carving out their own sound and niche in the Minneapolis music scene.
