Sure, it isn't spring, and, yeah, you're not in high school anymore, but time is running out to order a corsage and find a date for next Friday's Head Like A Kite Faux Prom Party at the Yakima Sports Center.

First it was funny hats, then it was masks. Now HLAK, the quirky Seattle electro-pop duo made up of Dave Einmo and Trent Moorman, is encouraging everyone to dress up in their tackiest prom dresses and suits. There'll even be a prom photographer to capture the special night.

Also, don't be surprised to see a film crew at the concert. 7ate9 Entertainment, which works with the likes of ESPN, MTV and the Cartoon Network, is producing "On the Brink," an upcoming reality Webisode series about the road to musical success. (Go to On's blog at on.yakimablogs.com to see the show's trailer featuring HLAK.)

"I think they have some challenges for us that should make it crazy," Einmo writes in an e-mail.

The show starts about 9 p.m. Nov. 21 at the Sports Center, 214 E. Yakima Ave. Also on the bill are Half Acre Day (Seattle indie rock) and Daniel Craig (Yakima teen angst). Cover is $5.
