Also at the Mateel (and Outside related), a Tuesday, Sept. 1, show by the legendary ’60s Brazilian psychedelic tropicalia band Os Mutantes. Original guitarist Sérgio Dias resurrected the band in 2006 and they’ve been touring the world since. One-man-jamband Scott Huckabay opens with his loopy psychedelia.

Between CenterArts and AS Presents the HSU campus is jumping: Sunday, guitarist Chris Isaac croons in the Van Duzer. Tuesday at the JVD it’s alt. folk-rock by The Avett Brothers (fresh from OLMAF) with Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside; meanwhile, Brooklyn-based indie pop duo Matt and Kim are over in The Depot with dance pop cutie Amanda Blank opening. Then Wednesday at the Depot, American/Kenyan Afropop band Extra Golden (yet another OLAMF-er) shares a bill with ultra-cool alt. alt. band Gang Gang Dance.

Coming up next Thursday, Sept. 3, the launch of a new season by keepers-of-the-jazz-flame Redwood Jazz Alliance. They’re starting big with a performance at the Arcata Theatre Lounge by eclectic New York-based trumpet player Dave Douglas and his band, Brass Ecstasy. More on that show next week.
