FRIDAY
Perky young MySpace discovery Colbie Caillat -- making her second stop in Dallas this year -- is on a hit-making tear with her latest single, "Fallin' for You." The dreamy video, featuring SNL comic Bobby Moynihan, is a cute hoot, too. With Trevor Hall and Howie Day. 8 p.m. Palladium Ballroom, 1135 S. Lamar St. $25. ticketmaster.com.
Freakers Ball, presented by 97.1 The Eagle, features the reformed Alice in Chains, making a go of it without the late Layne Staley. Their new album is Black Gives Way to Blue.

Jim Gaffigan can make hilarious material out of the extremely mundane -- like bacon or Hot Pockets. He'll also poke constant fun at himself, and criticize his own material with a high-pitched voice, like an obstinate critic inside his head. Check his Comedy Central special Beyond the Pale for a great dose of his humor. 7:30 and 10 p.m. Majestic Theatre, 1925 Elm St. $35.75 and $42.75. ticketmaster.com.

Dovetail's new CD, Love Is War, sounds different than many of the other rock projects recorded at Salim Nourallah's Pleasantry Lane studios. Think polished, Britpop-influenced songs with pretty falsettos (from frontman Philip Creamer.) A nice change for the Lane. With Odis, the Wandas and Ryan Edgar. 8 p.m. Trees, 2709 Elm St. $10. 214-741-1122. treesdallas.com.

See Saturday and Sunday events after the jump, including Tiësto and the Cedar Springs Halloween Parade.
SATURDAY
Many say the Cedar Springs Halloween Parade is the most fabulous Halloween party in Dallas, and who can argue with the number of people -- thousands attend every year -- and outrageous costumes packed into the heart of the gayborhood? Strut your stuff during the parade or watch from the sidelines. Either way, check out the lot behind Sue Ellen's after the parade for music by LA DJ Maurice Tamraz and entertainment by Station 4's Rose Room performers. Food and beer will be available for purchase. And make sure to take a taxi -- parking's a bitch. 8 p.m. 3900 block of Cedar Springs Road. Free. caven.com.
Dutch DJ Tiësto has quickly become a superstar in the electronic dance music scene, from being the first DJ to perform at the opening of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens to working with such big names as Three Six Mafia, Flo Rida and Sean Kingston on "Feel It." 8 p.m. Palladium Ballroom, 1135 S. Lamar St. $51. ticketmaster.com.
Brian Regan is the rare successful comedian who never fell prey to the crappy sitcom. He's funny without being dirty -- another increasingly rare feat these days. His 2008 Comedy Central special The Epitome of Hyperbole is the best example, especially his bits about manslaughter and learning Spanish. 7 and 9:30 p.m. Majestic Theatre, 1925 Elm St. $46.50 and $52.50. ticketmaster.com.
Mat Kearney sounds a little like a laid-back Chris Martin, but his music definitely isn't a Coldplay copy. Matters of the heart are molded into hopeful, catchy choruses on tunes such as "Nothing Left to Lose," "Undeniable" and the new single "Closer to Love." With local pop duo Smile Smile. 9 p.m. House of Blues, 2200 N. Lamar St. $21.50-$50. ticketmaster.com.
A top-notch group of local country and rock acts are lined up for Taste of Greenville. Buy inexpensive treats from area restaurants while you enjoy the music of Johnny Lloyd Rollins, the King Bucks, the Cas Haley Trio, Max Stalling and more. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parking lot of the Granada Theater, 3524 Greenville Ave. Free admission, food samples $2-$4. tasteofgreenvilleavenue.com.
Star Wars Fan Days from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Plano Centre, 2000 E. Spring Creek Parkway, Plano. $15 on Saturday, $10 on Sunday. starwarsfandays.com.
Romp Almighty! at the Libertine Bar. Musicians Laura Harrell and Trey Pendegrass perform. 9 p.m. 2101 Greenville Ave. No cover. 214-824-7900. libertinebar.com.
DJ Miss Lisa at Thrive. Lisa spins electronic, hip-hop and Top 40. 9 p.m. 1015 Elm St. No cover. 214-742-5688. thrivenightclub.com.
SUNDAY
Lilting electric guitar and electronica elements give the Bravery's music a dreamy, uplifting quality. The 2007 single "Believe" put the band on the map, and soulful tunes like "Time Won't Let Me Go" should help keep them there. Watch for a new album in December. With the Dustys and Crash Kings. 9 p.m. House of Blues, 2200 N. Lamar St. $15-$40. ticketmaster.com.
Savor the Flavor at the Hotel Capri. Music from DJ Sno White. Complimentary candy vodka shots passed around at midnight. 6 p.m. 2020 Greenville Ave. No cover. 214-370-9944. thehotelcapri.com.
All people deserve very good life and personal loans or college loan would make it better. Because people's freedom depends on money state.
