DERADOORIAN
Deradoorian aka Angel Deradoorian (formerly of Dirty Projectors, Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks, etc.), is a multi-instrumentalist, composer weirdo who makes whatever kind of music they feel. Deradoorian explores the worlds of ambient, experimental, drone, and straight up pop songs.Originally from Sacramento, California, Deradoorian returns after a decade to play The Red Museum. They will be performing (with a full band) songs from their latest album Ready for Heaven (Fire Records), an record that "deals with heaven and earth, damnation and salvation, and using intelligence against rampant, naked greed. It is a classic forty minute set of inquisitive pop songs, blessed with a lightness of touch and a sharp focus that can’t help but charm the listener" (Richard Foster 2025).
CASUAL FOG
Under the moniker Casual Fog, Northern California native, Ryan Donnelly has released more than ten albums and EPs over the last 20 plus years. His most recent releases, full-length album 'Different Mirrors' and EP 'Else,' take you deep into an immersive world of sonic and cinematic arrangements, exploring poppy highs to moody lows.Bringing to life a synthetic and organic inspired interpretation of the past and present Casual Fog material, the current live incarnation features frequent collaborators, Ben Milner, Jacob Bradford and Dan Elkan who between them have collectively contributed to notable Nevada County based projects Them Hills, Ghost Pines, Night Court, and Oh Lonesome Ana, as well as international touring artists, Broken Bells, Hella, The Advantage & sBach.casualfog.com

ANNOUNCEMENT [ 4.21.2026 ]

ANNOUNCEMENT [ 3.3.2026 ]

Here is the list of the bands and who called them, not in lineup order. We’ll pause while you google "chappell definition." Are you back? OK, let’s proceed
YOU MUST RE-CALL YOUR BAND AND NAME YOUR MEMBERS VIA EMAIL BY MIDNIGHT ON MARCH 10TH.
Over 75 people called bands, and we had to make some hard choices. If any of the above bands fall apart there is a chance that one or more that didn’t make it could be called up to the big leagues.If you are heartbroken you were not called, Drew Walker would like to extend an offer to play at the Golden Bear on Sunday, May 24th. Reach out to him if you are interested. Halloween bands who would like to play again on Sunday should also reach out.We are excited about this killer roster, we hope you are too. If your band was not chosen, maybe you can join as a musician, a singer, a dancer, a prop master, a wig stylist, or a volunteer at The Red Museum. Or sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
ANNOUNCEMENT [ 2.26.2026 ]
Hey Halloweeners, band sign-ups are officially closed!So, what’s next?We know you’re eager to find out if your band has been selected, and we appreciate your patience! We’ve enacted the algorithm & we’re carefully reviewing all submissions to ensure we can accommodate as many bands as possible while putting on the best show with the resources available.We’ll announce the selected bands in about a week or so. Once the lineup is confirmed, you’ll need to reconfirm your band and provide a list of members.In the past, some bands have disbanded at this stage, which may open up spots for bands on the waitlist. We received over 78 band submissions this year! If you’ve signed up but no longer wish to participate, please let us know as soon as possible so we can be fair to others. Last year, approximately 20 bands performed.Stay tuned for updates, and thanks for all of your enthusiasm!REMEMBER: it’s gonna be mega-great.
ANNOUNCEMENT [ 2.18.2026 ]
Thank you for your theme suggestions. There were over 65 and we discussed them all, even AVAILABLE AT CORTI BROTHERS. The winner is OCCUPATIONS.Time to call your band. Email your band idea and your name to [email protected].Only one pitch per person. If the connection is tenuous, explain it.You have one week from today to email. Any pitch after February 25th at midnight will not be considered.We reserve the right to choose who advances based on a complex, proprietary algorithm. This includes when multiple people send in the same idea. We get many pitches so this part can be tough for people, but nobody wants this to go over 20-ish bands. After the calling closes, we filter the pitches through the algorithm and announce the chosen ones. Sometimes the paper jams or a panel overheats, so this can take a few days.After we announce the lineup, you must re-call your band with members. If you can’t get it together, you are taken out of the lineup.
RULE #1: Each person can only be in 2 bands.
RULE #2: No existing bands can call a band. Mix it up.
ANNOUNCEMENT [ 1.22.2026 ]
The SAC HALLOWEEN SHOW will take place on May 23rd at The Red Museum. Stay tuned.
The Red Museum is a volunteer-run DIY art space on the edge of Downtown Sacramento. We are a warehouse that provides rehearsal space for local artists and musicians, and occasionally we open our doors to the community by hosting unique art and music events.We feel lucky to be a rare exception to DIY spaces being extinguished in the face of gentrification.
This is simply a space to keep our special event flyers past and present.

HISTORY
The Red Museum is an old fruit-packing warehouse on the outskirts of Mansion Flats that has transformed into an epicenter of experimentation and raw arts culture in Sacramento. We provide affordable practice/studio space to local creatives and occasionally curated events that bring people of different ages, ethnicities, genders, economic backgrounds, and tastes together to experience new music, performance, food, and visual art.We believe in the cultural value of providing exposure for emerging artists and participation in the arts, and are grateful to be a vehicle for this culture through our events. Thanks for your support!
