The bands and DJs performing at KCRW's Halloween Masquerade party in Los Angeles have absolutely nothing in common with the Andrew Lloyd Webber song of the same name. If you're a Southern California resident or avid follower of independent music, then you're probably familiar with KCRW, one of the area's most tuned-into radio stations. The station's DJs, all of whom share a similar baritone rumble to their voices, are known for helping dictate the swing of the local music scene and attracting listeners to live shows en masse.

Halloween night's Masquerade extravaganza is sure to be no exception. If featured performers like Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and DJ Shadow don't ring a bell, then it's time to switch over from KISS FM to find out what all the fuss is about. They'll be on hand to entertain the gussied and ghouled-up crowd, along with Sea Wolf, Little Dragon, and all of your favorite KCRW DJs. Finally, a way to put a face to the personality spinning tribal dubstep you hear late at night.

Tickets are steep at—ouch—$75. But if it's a blowout party that you're hoping to attend for the evening, you could do worse, and at least you know your fellow revelers have pretty decent taste in music. What's more, if you choose to forgo trick-or-treating to attend, you won't go hungry. Many of LA's favorite mobile food phenomena will be parked outside of The Legendary Park Plaza to keep you well-fed, including Kogi, Border Grill, Coolhaus, and Sprinkles. Bonus points to the person that dares go as one of Kogi's spicy, crazy-delicious kimchi quesadillas.

Proceeds from the event go toward KCRW, making it one of those rare occasions when imbibing cocktails and dancing to electro music will go toward a worthy cause.
