Freaks, ghouls and wayward spirits come out of the woodwork as the clock strikes midnight on October 1. Among them are the Countess Zaleska, a dark and devilish duo hailing from Boston and Washington, D.C. With nods to chilly ’80s new wave and pop-industrial aesthetics, the group’s skewed tunes chronicle haunted houses, dark souls and even vampires. It’s all in good fun, though. Rather than wallowing in pain and languishing in turmoil, the band revels in the shadows with campy delight. Catch the Countess Zaleska on Monday, October 8, at Radio Bean in Burlington.
