On October 31st, Nectar hosted three local bands for Doom Funk Halloween. Instrumental funk project High Pulp headlined the show, cumbia-based group The Cumbieros filled out the middle set, and General Mojo’s opened the night with some neo-psych. Costume-clad bands and fun grooves made for a high-energy Halloween night.

General Mojo's led off Nectar Lounge's Doom Funk Halloween.

General Mojo's is a five-piece psych-rock band that recalls elements of rock from a half-century passed.

The Cumbieros followed General Mojo's in front of an already packed house.

A Seattle band composed of musicians originally from both North and South America, The Cumbieros instill a will to dance based off the cumbia music styles of Latin and South America.

Headliner High Pulp topped the night, creatively disguised as pieces of fruit (mostly).

High Pulp creates its sound by pulling in elements of jazz, funk, R&B, and psych-rock, and the group is never wholly in a single genre.

High Pulp welcomed vocalist Shaina Shepherd of Bearaxe to the stage for several poppin’ numbers.
