What to do with your Saturday night? Why not take a walk on the darker side as local fetish promoters Single Cell Productions (known for their erotica/bondage shows at Purgatory) whip out Nocturnal Frequencies Alternative Arts and Music Festival. It’s set to feature live music (from industrial, synth-pop, darkwave and ebm) from Angels on Acid, Filth on Demand, Echostream and other bands, as well as the best mixes and spins by a hand full of DJs who specialize in this underground music scene. If that isn’t enough, the fest will feature performances (a bunch of half-naked goths) and fetish and fantasy art/photography. It all strays from the average and you might think its Halloween (if you’re a first-timer) at this mesmerizing spectacle that forces you to embrace the devil within. $20-$25. 6 p.m. Amos’ Southend, 1423 S. Tryon St. 704-377-6874. www.singlecell.us.
