Freak Show Hosted by Zig Zag Promos
A Night of Noise, Light, and Pure Rock Energy
The usually laid-back Hutt Shutts Sports Bar transformed into a storm of sound and light for Freak Show 2025 — a five-band lineup that took over the night on November 1st, 2025.
With performances from Klavium, Scarred in Silence, Circle Square, Lynchpin, and Incert Coin, it was a Halloween concert that reminded everyone why live music is still the heartbeat of Trinidad’s rock scene.
From behind the lens, I captured the energy, and emotion that night. Here’s a look back at the madness that unfolded.
Klavium – A Two Man Powerhouse
Klavium opened the night with their local brand of Trash Metal. Their sound was fast paced and aggressive, you won’t think that such a small band has such a big presence.
Blue and red lighting flickered across the stage — dramatic, moody, and perfect for the lens. The energy was fast paced, setting the tone for what was to come.
Scarred in Silence – New Beginnings
As soon as Scarred in Silence hit the stage, the crowd responded. This was their first performance and as a new band they handled themselves well. I loved the energy. Their performance featured a guest appearance by Randy Alexander and this was a great fit with their vibe.
Photographing them was a test of timing and instinct — the kind of challenge that makes live photography so addictive. Every flash captured a split second of chaos and passion
Circle Square – Pure Energy
Circle Square has become a band that I always look forward to hearing. Their sound continues to evolve and amaze. They performed a set that was high energy with their grunge influenced sound. They also won with stage presence.
They are always a good listen and they really kept the momentum going.
Lynchpin – Adrenaline Unleashed
By the time Lynchpin took over, the crowd was fully charged. Their set was tight and electrifying. Every movement was a burst of adrenaline — a perfect storm of energy that pushed the night to its peak.
Each strobe flash froze moments that felt larger than life — wild motion, faces lit by raw emotion, guitars mid-strike.
Incert Coin – The Grand Finale
Closing out the night, Incert Coin brought unmatched chaos and charisma. Their set was a mix of crowd favorites, slower offerings interspersed with energetic pieces — everything a rock finale should be.
The crowd sang, moshed, and shouted until the final note faded. It wasn’t just a performance — it was a celebration of sound and community.
Behind the Lens – Capturing the Freak Show
Concerts like Freak Show 2025 are why I love live photography.
Each band brought something unique — a different story told through light, movement, and sound. From the haze of the smoke machines to the glow of the stage lights, every shot told its own story.
This night was a reminder that live music is more than what you hear — it’s something you feel, and if you’re lucky, something you can capture.
Final Thoughts
Freak Show 2025 was more than just a concert. It was a showcase of local talent, energy, and passion — and a clear sign that Trinidad’s rock scene is thriving.
Every frame from that night tells a story — of musicians giving everything they have, and a crowd that gave it right back.
If this year’s show is any indication, Freak Show deserves to become an annual tradition — and I’ll be ready, camera in hand, when it returns.
Zig Zag Promotions had an amazing event and I’m looking forward to what’s next.
