Toronto-based band Enter the Haggis (ETH) will be spending Halloween at Mechanics Hall in Worcester. Symply Fargone Productions presents “Halloween with Haggis” on Friday, October 31 at 8pm. It will be the last time the band officially appears as Enter the Haggis. Following the Worcester performance they will officially become known as The Jubilee Riots.
The show will feature a costume contest with a $250 grand prize with the winner selected by a team of Symply Fargone judges.
In 2001, ETH was invited to the US for the first time to perform at a festival in Pennsylvania. The demand for the band in the US rose quickly and it wasn’t long until the US became the focus of touring. As the group’s fan base expanded and the music evolved, pubs gave way to rock clubs and performing arts centers. In 2004 ETH signed to a US-based management and record label, releasing Casualties of Retail (2004), Soapbox Heroes (2006), and Gutter Anthems (2009). In 2007 the band garnered national attention on ABC’s Live with Regis and Kelly and A&E’s Breakfast with the Arts. For 2011’s Whitelake release, the band decided to leave its label and management company, an opportunity made possible thanks to its first crowd funding approach. The band’s last album reached its Kickstarter goal in just 12 hours.
