A Halloween visit from 1980s band L.A. Guns highlights the October schedule at the revived Music Mill, which will open for business Thursday.

Jazz and R&B acts Reggie Foster Jr. and Ryan McDaniel will perform opening night. A rock-meets-rap bill featuring Kramus and the Mudkids is scheduled Friday.

The Music Mill, 3720 E. 82nd St., closed in February and June. The new owner is Ravi Chopra, who opened Downtown’s 6 Lounge in 2005.

The 700-capacity performance room will present pop, R&B and country acts as well as comedians, Chopra says.

“We’re going to try to go into as many different genres that we can go into to try to keep it fresh and alive,” he says.

L.A. Guns, booked for an Oct. 31 show at the Music Mill, reached No. 33 on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 chart with 1989 single “The Ballad of Jayne.” Vocalist Phil Lewis and drummer Steve Riley are part of the band’s current lineup.

Entry to entertainment events will be restricted to ages 21 and older — unlike the Music Mill’s experiments in 18-and-older and all-ages entry that began in January 2008.

The restaurant within the Music Mill is now known as the Green Room.
