Today, the band announced their Halloween celebration, scheduled for Saturday, October 27th, at The Fillmore Philadelphia.

In the announcement The band encourages fans to “Grab your Mountain Dew and mozzarella, get that perfect amount of grease on the joystick, test your skills at Buster Brawl to make sure you are properly ready for Vintage Video Game Night right here on the .org!!!” Try your hand at “Buster Brawl” on the band’s website now.
