Every band on the local Bedazzled label sounds like the Cocteau Twins, Ride, and/or Lush. So if you’re a fan of any of the usual pastel blissmongers, you should haunt Phantasmagoria’s Halloween-night “Bedazzled Records Showcase.” Sniff the ether as Copycat Twins Siddal guide you through a post-coital comedown with its highly mechanized etherealness! Etherealize to Viola Peacock’s ethereally smudged passion rock! Etheriate in the Curtain Society’s digitized ethereal melancholia! Snicker (ethereally, natch) at An April March’s name as you sway to its rigid gothic ethereality! Do you get a discount if you come costumed as your favorite shoegazer? At 8 p.m. at Phantasmagoria, 11319 Elkin St., Wheaton. $6. (301) 949-8886. (Christopher Porter)
