Interview with Mallory Moad:
KRL: I understand you will be performing a Halloween concert at Gazebo Gardens-will you be doing any special songs to fit the Halloween theme?
Mallory: It’s not really a concert – it’s the weekly Thursday night food truck/live music/beer garden, but with a Halloween twist. We’ll be dusting off the strange-spooky-ooky songs from our repertoire (the ones we save for events like this).
KRL: What are some of the songs you will be doing?
Mallory: Our set list will include Cruella DeVil because if she doesn’t scare you no evil thing will. Mysterious Mose talks about graveyards and haunted houses. We’ll be playing plenty of other trick-or-treat appropriate, family-friendly tunes, bwaaaaaahaaaahaaaaa!
KRL: Will you guys be in costume?
Mallory: I know I will be!
KRL: What would you normally be doing for Halloween?
Mallory: I’d probably be home wishing there were more kids living in my neighborhood. Seems they all had the audacity to grow up!
KRL: Anything you would like to add?
Mallory: This is the first time we’ve played a Halloween show on Halloween and I’m pretty excited. It’s my favorite holiday! I’m hoping everybody – kids, grownups, dogs, – shows up dressed to the nines. That would be the best Halloween treat ever!
Gazebo Gardens is located at 3204 N Van Ness Blvd. Fresno, CA. You can learn more about them on their Facebook page. You can also follow Scats on the Sly on their Facebook page.
