Cthulhupalooza

"Cthulhupalooza" will be held this December 6th in Vancouver, Canada. Based on its name and theme, it will focus heavily on Lovecraftian music today. The weekend event will swirl from chaos into one Cyclopean concert, with a featured appearance by the Lovecraftian punk band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. A rock band competition will also be held. Cthulhupalooza has attracted some hefty sponsorship--at least as far as Lovecraftian events go. Jones Cola, Harmonix, and Lovecraft oriented sponsors like Lurker Films will be supporting the event.

This is a very large H.P. Lovecraft event for Canada. It may even prove the biggest and best yet hosted north of the border. Though it will revolve heavily around music, this is not its sole focus. A screening of the 2005 silent version of "The Call of Cthulhu" will be there, and Palooza goers can expect to see some quality Lovecraft vendors and other entertainment as well. Vancouver's Rio Theater will house the event. Tickets are $16 and the festival's website includes much more information about entertainment there, as well as instructions for interested performers.
