Records Are In

Monday, April 13, the Fox/E1P has JamBang, a hard-driving “audio/visual experience” featuring former Black Flag guitarist Gregg Ginn with Bobby Bancalari on mandolin, Steve DeLollis on drums, and A/V artist Joey Keeton. The Red Fox Acid Jazz AllStars open; expect Ginn to sit in with B. Swiz and Co. Then on Tuesday, April 14, it’s a Passion hip hop show at the Fox with Lifesavas and an opening set by Subliminal Sabotage.

Coming to the Arcata Theatre Lounge Thursday, April 9, “An Evening of Experimental Film and Music” with films and video by Kevin Chili-Collando, Michel Sargent (ATL’s movie guy and an alt. filmmaker) and “a surprise French experimental filmmaker no one has ever heard of,” mostly providing a visual backdrop for three of Humboldt’s finest deep underground bands: international floorcore stars Starving Weirdos, the inimitable Pipe(s) of The Doctor of Witchcraft (who invite you to “experience the modern day cult of Pythagoras”) and acousto-electro-improv collective thelittlestillnotbigenough. In between bands they’ll screen short films by assorted experimentalists.

Saturday is reggae time at ATL with former Black Uhuru lead singer Junior Reid, plus JA-born Humboldt transplant Stevie Culture and Arcata’s own Jah Sun.

Buried in the recent story about the revival of the Arcata and Eureka theaters was brief mention of the Garberville Theater, another classic old movie house struggling to stay alive in trying times. A series of fundraisers for the Garberville kicks off Saturday with a concert featuring tons of music by SoHum/NoHum bands and musicians including NPK, St. John and the Sinners, The Nestburys, NightHawk, the SoHum Girls (who are not all girls), half a dozen solo/duo acts and visual effects by Mark Zachary’s Cosmic Goo. “We are committed to keeping the theater open, so we have to find new ways to try and cover the ever increasing costs,” said Chris Brannan, who owns the place with his partner Brigette Brannan of NightHawk. Show your support and help save the Garberville!
