The Halloween Jack & Alt-Rock Showcase
Prepare for a night of eclectic rock and high-concept performance at the Whisky A Go Go on Friday, January 16, 2026. This lineup bridges the gap between legendary tribute artistry and rising indie-rock energy. Doors open at 6:00 PM.
The Lineup
-
The Halloween Jack: Headlining the night is the premier David Bowie tribute experience, named after the “real cool cat” persona Bowie adopted during his Diamond Dogs era. Far from a standard cover band, The Halloween Jack focuses on the theatricality and sonic precision of Bowie’s glam-rock peak. Led by vocalist Michael Saxe (performing under the alias Michael Rossmore), the ensemble features seasoned musicians like lead guitarist John Kenneth and keyboardist Søren Moos Kühle. Expect a setlist that dives deep into the Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane catalogues, delivered with authentic vintage gear and dramatic flair.
-
Leave It To Cleaver: A high-energy rock outfit known for their tongue-in-cheek lyricism and aggressive, hook-heavy sound. They bring a gritty, punk-adjacent energy to the mid-show slot, often drawing comparisons to early 2000s alternative rock.
-
Ryder B: A rising singer-songwriter and performer who blends modern pop-rock sensibilities with a classic rock stage presence. This appearance at the Whisky marks a significant stop on their winter West Coast run.
-
Tomorrow’s Anthem: Opening the night, this group specializes in anthemic, stadium-ready rock melodies. Their sound is built on big choruses and driving rhythms designed to get the crowd moving early.
