Ever seen a zombie reanimate on the dance floor? Love in Stockholm’s Halloween show at the Precinct was a funk-fueled night of the living dead. Love in Stockholm, masquerading as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band—complete with costumes—was in full force Saturday. Big British shoes to fill you say? Yeah. And Love in Stockholm played the shit out of Sgt. Pepper’s, leaving the crowd screaming, "It’s Alive!!!" The seven-piece ensemble played a high-energy set with their distinct rock-funk sound. Completing the Halloween tribute show was Turkuaz performing as the Talking Heads and Hey Mama as Led Zeppelin.
Just as the famous alter-ego group gave the Beatles the freedom to experiment, Love in Stockholm’s masquerade reinvented Sgt. Pepper’s with that unique soulful edge that Boston seems to have an ever-increasing demand for. Bumping elbows with zombies and X-Men to some kickass rock-funk. Yeah, that’s my kind of Halloween.
