MISC: INTERNATIONAL CIRCUS FESTIVAL Las Vegan and sixth-generation circus performer Renato Fernandes says he has made history by being the first man to accomplish a “double twisting double layout and a half” on the flying trapeze. He’s about to accomplish another first, with the inaugural International Circus Festival of Las Vegas. Spread over two weekends, the festival features hand balancing, contortion, aerial stunts, Chinese pole, juggling, flying trapeze and unicycling by world-class performers from 11 countries. Performers compete in front of the audience and a panel of esteemed judges for awards, cash prizes and contracts with productions like Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. Audience members also will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite performers, who will be honored at a gala showcasing finalists on November 5. Come one, come all!

Early Moods
MUSIC: EARLY MOODS We’re still reeling from the first time we caught Early Moods at Dive Bar last April. The LA-based doom metal quintet had just released its full-length album A Sinner’s Past a November prior and were fully locked into the project’s grave-awakening riffage and Ozzy-esque vocals. Despite the show falling on a Sunday, it managed to summon an impressive crowd, full of patched denim-vested headbangers and fellow musicians. Now, after only a few Novembers, Early Moods returns to rip on Sinwave’s stage for its Real Sinners Tour. Expect an even heavier set as they continue to carve their name into the modern doom metal scene with their Sabbath-leaning sound and unrelenting stage presence. 8 p.m., $13+, Sinwave, dice.fm –Gabriela Rodriguez
