WYEP's Hellbender Ball

Nocturnal salamander, the Eastern Hellbender, was named Pennsylvania's state amphibian in APril. At night, the crayfish-eating creatures seek refreshment and companionship. The folks at WYEP thought this sounded a lot like Halloween party-goers, so they named their Halloween bash, taking place at the Thunderbird Café & Music Hall, the Hellbender Ball. Pittsburgh musicians/bands will transform into legends like Madonna (Donora), Beyoncé (Sierra Sellers), Bruce Springsteen (André Costello and the Cool Minors), and more so you can dance the night away in costume to old and new hits alike. Maybe, like the Hellbender, you’ll even find some new friends.
