Recently, Buffalo’s fan-favorite up-and-coming jam band Aqueous released a brand-new studio LP, Color Wheel. In promotion of this new collection, the band is prepping to embark on their most ambitious and extensive headlining tour to date, which kicks off this weekend in St. Paul, MN, and spans through to New Year’s Eve. During the tour, the band will find themselves celebrating Halloween at Brooklyn, New York’s Knitting Factory for a fun themed performance with support from Mungion.

Each Halloween show, Aqueous challenges themselves to take on a theme to inform the performance. In the past, the band has chosen The Wizard of Oz, Back To The Future, and Super Mario Brothers as a template for their Halloween performances. This year, the group has chosen to pay tribute to everyone’s favorite cartoon channel growing up, Nickelodeon.

Notes guitarist Mike Gantzer,

We take Halloween pretty seriously over at camp AQ. In previous years we’ve done some wild themes where we’ll incorporate all the music and the whole vibe of whatever the theme is. … This year for our show at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, we wanted to pay tribute to a golden era of cartoon history: Nick Toons! We all grew up loving shows like Doug, Rocko’s Modern Life, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Hey Arnold, Spongebob Squarepants, and the list goes on and on. The music from a lot of these shows is so awesome, and it’s gonna be a blast diving down this rabbit hole of nostalgia and blending the whole Nickelodeon vibe within the AQ sound. Add Mungion as support to the mix, and you’ve got a pretty bombastic show going down for Halloween this year.

A limited amount of tickets for Aqueous’ upcoming Halloween show with Mungion are available. To purchase tickets, head here. For more information on Aqueous’ upcoming tour dates, head to the band’s website here.
