The world's only pizza-themed Velvet Underground tribute band led by Macaulay Culkin will perform on Oct. 30 at Fountain Square's Hi-Fi nightclub.

Culkin, known for his work in the "Home Alone" films, is part of a New York quintet that specializes in songs such as "Papa John Says," "All the Pizza Parties" and "I'm Beginning to Eat the Slice."

At the Hi-Fi, the Pizza Underground will share a bill with Har Mar Superstar -- the novelty hip-hop/soul act who issued his "Bye Bye 17" album in 2013. Admission to the Hi-Fi show is $18, or $16 if purchased in advance.
