The Ian Fays, Junk Boy Wonder and Spiderfriends
What:
The Ian Fays, Junk Boy Wonder and Spiderfriends perform Saturday, July 25, at Arcata Theatre Lounge, 1036 G St in Arcata. Doors open at 8 p.m. Show Starts at 9 p.m. Cost is $4 and is 18 and over.
From Humboldt County to international superstars, The Ian Fays bring their undeniable cuteness once again to Arcata. “In an ideal world, the twins, Lizz and Sara, and their bandmates would be the new princesses of pop – in the best sense of the word: simple but gorgeous melodies, toy casios…”
Panoplie Zine/Indie Compilation, Luxembourg
“32 minutes of lo-fi whispers and dreaming that speaks of small disappointments, loves and drinks.”

Junk Boy Wonder sat in front of a computer and hit record in 1999. They aren’t stopping anytime soon.People have compared them to Wolf Parade, Interpol, Weezer, and the Beatles. That’s all very nice but those people don’t know what they’re talking about. Junk Boy Wonder are an experimental folk-pop band from various parts of California and will follow The Ian Fays anywhere…

Spider friends are a self proclaimed experimental, powerpop, grunge outfit who will lend their musical hands to provide more entertainment for this musical party.
