If you ever find yourself in central Massachusetts, stop by JR’s Spooky Shack for all your horror needs. That’s what horror punk favorites Blitzkid do.
The independent horror collectibles and accessories shop hosted Blitzkid singer/bassist Argyle Goolsby for his first-ever solo acoustic performance on February 19.
Like a spine-chilling take on MTV Unplugged, Goolsby regaled the intimate crowd with stories from his career in between a mix of solo songs, Blitzkid classics, and a cover of Buddy Holly’s “Words of Love.”
Watch an exclusive video of Goolsby’s closing number, a haunting rendition of Blitzkid’s “Slaughter at the Sock Hop,” below.
“I had a blast,” Goolsby beamed about the experience. He hopes to play at JR’s Spooky Shack again in the future. In the interim, Blitzkid will be touring intermittently throughout the year, including a stint in California this summer and an East Coast run in October.
“Being able to turn a lifelong dream into something physical and tangible has been incredible,” proprietor Jesse “JR” Hikel tells Bloody Disgusting. “This was the first event like this I’ve hosted here, and based on the overwhelming response and success, there will be many more.”
JR’s Spooky Shack is located at 104 Forest Avenue in Hudson, MA. Its inventory is also available online.
