CARADY MADDEN: CHURCH OF HATE ON HALLOWEEN AT HELL'S KITCHEN >>>

Local metal favorites Church of Hate and American Wrecking Company are teaming up on Halloween night to bring Tacomans one of the most brutal shows of the year. Who wants to go to a lame house party where you don't know anyone when you could go to Hell's Kitchen and rock out instead? If for some reason you aren't familiar with both of these bands (have you been living under a rock or something?!), Halloween is probably the absolute best time to see them play together. Headed up by A Lesson in Chaos, this show will rock your face off. Always supporting the best local bands, Hell's Kitchen offers both the music and the atmosphere you'd expect from a rock bar. Expect loads of fake blood, a touch of the real stuff, and lots of zombie costumes.

[Hell’s Kitchen, 9 p.m., $5-$7, 3829 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, 253.759.6003]
