Concert calendar: A look at this week’s upcoming performances
Every week in Cleveland is a week to see live concerts. However, like any other week, it’s difficult to see them all. Dozens more of Cleveland’s concerts are just waiting to be experienced.
For a head start on choosing a week of music, here are five upcoming Cleveland shows:

Event: AP Tour featuring Mayday Parade / Real Friends / This Wild Life / As It Is
Venue: House of Blues Cleveland
Price: $25-27
The upcoming Mayday Parade show is like a mini Warped Tour. And this shouldn’t come as a shocker when you look at all the bands, and the fact that Hot Topic is presenting the tour through Alternative Press. Scenesters, unite.

Band: Saintseneca / The Sidekicks / The Yowlers

Event: Spirit of Mahall’s: A Night of Paranormal Activity featuring Wolf Eyes / Hiram-Maxim

Price: $25
Wolf Eyes’ experimental metal music is not for the musically faint of heart. Paired with local doom metal band Hiram-Maxim, this is a great show to get you in the mood for Halloween. And not the fun trick-or-treat mood: I mean the scary side.
