In addition to the standard costume dance parties, a new Halloween tradition is becoming popular in Boston clubs: local bands performing tributes to their favorite acts. The bands want to get in on the dress-up fun, and with Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, most bars and clubs are getting into the act.
Here's a list of some of the more interesting Halloween parties in the clubs this weekend.

The Midway Cafe in J.P. is having two nights of tributes. Friday's show features The Battleship Cometh As Led Zeppelin and The Full-Time Dreamers as hair-metalers Posion. The Left Foot will also be performing an as-yet-announced-but-surely-kindred tribute. Saturday's show features tributes to Black Sabbath and Guns 'n Roses.
Speaking of hair metalers, Oliver's at the Cask & Flagon will be throwing a Halloween Hair Ball on Friday.
The Middle East upstairs isn't having a tribute night, but is featuring some bands that are Halloweenly dark and heavy: A Place to Bury Strangers, Dead Confederate, and All the Saints. 18+, $12
Saturday 10/31
On Halloween itself, most bars all over town will host costume parties. But the ultimate rock and roll Halloween show will be a short drive out of town: G.W.A.R. is bringing their horror-movie monster costumes, thrash metal songs and blood-spewing spectacle to the Worcester Palladium. $23 advance tickets, 8:00 PM show.
