Spokane’s Timeworm goes goblin mode on new album E Pluribus Goblin

Spooky season might be in the rearview mirror, but for Spokane band Timeworm, goblin season seemingly never ends. For Timeworm, viewing the world through the lens of the mischievous and malicious little demon-like creatures from English folklore seems pretty fitting for our current times. And the group dives deep into that idea while sonically exploring the edges of psychedelic funk, alternative rock and more on its new sophomore album, E Pluribus Goblin.

Spokane Halloween bashes to check-out this weekend

Though bar-hopping on Halloween night maximizes the number of people who see your super cool, niche, unique, never-been-done-before costume, the Chameleon is hosting a party so big that you may as well make the music venue your one-stop-shop this Halloween. If you’re a fiend for the local scene, see ’80s-infused band Starcourt, indie rockers The Bed Heads (pictured), the punkish Tomboy, Blunt Skulls and Psychic Death, the aptly named Spøøky, and the always-enigmatic Vika, across three stages. If that’s not enough, witness killer drag performances, DJs, participate in the $500 costume contest, drink a themed cocktail, and even get a flash tattoo on-site to round out this spooky soiree.
