On June 5, 2003 I got a phone call from Justin Ladd. He had just closed the doors at The Vista but he wanted to continue to support the local music scene, so he went down to Arcata Police Department and got a dance permit to have live music at The Alibi every Thursday night. And he wanted me to do the booking. And he wanted to have the first show in a week. I called up The Hitch and The Letdown, two of the most popular local bands at the time. I put up some fliers around town, just the names of the bands, the date, and the location. Thursday, June 12 was the first day of live music at The Alibi. We charged two bucks. The place was packed. It’s been 7 years now and The Alibi has hosted bands from all over the country and all over the world. We’ve had garage rock, black metal, outlaw country, and every sub-sub-genre in between. We’ve even had reggae and hip-hop djs. To celebrate this anniversary we’re charging two bucks, just like we did for that first show. Neither of the bands are local, and neither are popular here, but one of the main goals of having bands at The Alibi over the years is to give people the opportunity to hear new music. So bust open that piggy bank and come on down this Saturday. It’s only two bucks to get in, a pint of Oly is only two bucks, and that still leaves you money to tip your bartender and buy merch from the band. Or you can stay home and take bong rips and play Mario Kart on your Wii.
