Wednesday 13 with Mr. Fang and the Dark Tones at Elevation 27 in Virginia Beach September 21, 2022

by Glenn Woodell

Virginia Beach was graced, or rather mortified with the presence of Wednesday 13 as they paid a visit to promote their upcoming album, Horrifier, during their 20 Years of Fear tour. Horror Metal is what I would call them although they’ve fallen under other categories as well. Their show is not so full of horror but their lyrics and of course their dress are.

Frontman, “Wednesday 13”, came from Murder Dolls fame and also played in Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13 among other bands and included some songs from earlier bands in the set.

Opening for the show was the regional psychobilly band, Mr, Fang and the Dark Tones. You may have a hard time finding a more charismatic keyboard player than in this band. Imagine The Stray Cats meeting The Munsters and you have the Dark Tones. Fun, weird, entertaining, and suitable for…well, most ages.
