Gettin' freaky with Empty Space Orchestra

Intergalactic. Psychedelic. Kaleidoscopic. And probably other words that end with “ic.”
Most recently, ESO dropped a good number of jaws at the Bend Roots Revival. So what will they do to top themselves for an extra-special Halloween show in McMenamins Old St. Francis School's spacious movie theater? Well, you can expect the usual ESO experience, pumped up with costumes, weird video projections, a handful of new, heavy songs and a couple of interesting covers, plus a mysterious man behind the curtain whose sole job is to make you feel uneasy.
Sounds fun, right? It will be.
Empty Space Orchestra, with Mosley Wotta; 9 p.m. Saturday; free; McMenamins Old St. Francis School theater, 700 N.W. Bond St., Bend; 541-382-5174 or www.mcmenamins.com.
