The rest of the fest sprawls across the Bay Area, with documentaries, shorts, and more Tangiers-set drama Rock the Casbah closes it out Oct. Alia Shawkat - yep, Maeby Fünke from Arrested Development - co-stars as her straight-talking sister. The 18th annual Arab Film Festival, which focuses on independent films from the Arab world, opens tonight at the Castro Theatre with writer-director-star Cherien Dabis’ May in the Summer, about a Jordanian American writer whose impending marriage to a Palestinian shakes up her family. May has been rocking stages for well over a decade in the UK, and is finally gaining the popularity here that she and her talented band so rightly deserve - this is your chance to see the Dublin-born singer belt it out in a venue truly befitting her timeless tunes. Taking the sounds of traditional rockabilly, blues and jazz and giving them an injection of her own infectious energy and style, Irish chanteuse Imelda May’s sultry and sumptuous voice can make listeners swoon at a ballad or jump up to the searing rockers that pepper her excellent new album Tribal (Verve), which was released last month in the United States. Tarr and Professor Feather, and two black comedies: Deathwrite and The Taxidermist’s Revenge. The title entry is by composer and music director (and original Cockette) Scrumbly Koldewyn there’s also a circa-1903 entry from Paris’ legendary Grand Guignol, the Poe adaptation The System of Dr. In addition to the trademark “Spook-Show Finale” (you may laugh yourself silly during the prior acts, but this part is genuinely freaky), the 15th Shocktoberfest boasts a titillating quartet of short plays. Horror and carnage! Songs and…chuckles? Local theater menagerie Thrillpeddlers - beloved for its hugely successful revivals of Cockettes musicals - never disappoints when it comes to putting a uniquely bawdy yet gore-gushing spin on Halloween entertainment.

Their (extremely) unique blend of doo-wop, punk, garage rock, and potty humor will steal your heart and sell your soul. Though the relationship has been tumultuous, there’s no denying that King Khan and BBQ are musical soul mates.

The pair has been working together since the late ’90s, first in Canadian punk band the space Spaceshits, and then again as a rock duo. BBQ, that will make you laugh, mist up, shake your groove thang, and fall in love. But it is his collaborations with Mark Sultan, a.k.a. King Khan is perhaps best known for his work with his garage-soul-punk outfit The Shrines, a tremendously noisy and riotously fun group of talented musicians.
