It's not too early to make plans for Halloween weekend, and if you want to make this year especially memorable, hop a plane to Las Vegas for the Vegoose Music Festival.

The four deliciously British lads did not disappoint. We arrived at the venue a bit late, having stopped for a quick bite (tasty seafood appetizers and a salad at the Elite Cafe), so we walked in during the last song of first opener Every Move A Picture.
