Out in Front
Blue Lotus Jazz, featuring Shao Way Wu, Dave Wilson and Nalini Cogswell, will be warming up the cold marble walls of The Morris Graves Museum, on Saturday, Feb. 6.
Local indie rock luminaries also abound. Splinter Cell, featuring The Hitch’s Jeff Langdon (on drums!), will be joined on the bill with Eugene’s The Underlings, for a Meth Bog record release show (a new Underlings ep, “Vice Squad”), at The Alibi, on Saturday, Feb. 6. At Li’l Red Lion, The Monster Women’s Aimee Taylor will be entertaining a side project, Jeeze Louise, with Chamber Fable 54 and the Mister Moonbeam Show filling the roster. Eureka’s Scotch Wiggly will be joined by assorted (or sordid) friends, including “fusion belly dancing” at the Jambalaya on Friday, Feb. 5.
However, for those folk who like the volume at 11, with high-fueled rockabilly in the same vein as the early Rev. Horton Heat and the latter-day Social Distortion, The Chop Tops, from Santa Cruz, will be bringing their hot rod rock to the Jambalaya, along with Eureka’s Austin Alley and the Rustlers, on Saturday, Feb. 6.
Nocturnum will be featuring Humboldt Metal, with “Bash on the Bay,” on Friday, Feb. 5., with five ear-splitting, devil-horns-raised bands: 4 Star Bravado, Locust Furnace, Transient Messiah, Decayed Existence and OHM_S Law to flip your wig to.
Hailing from St. Croix, the reggae group Midnite will be chilling the same venue, Nocturnum, with his cross of roots and dub, with Woven Roots opening, on Saturday, Feb. 6.
I thank the opportunity to sit in for Bob this week, and hopefully, if all goes copacetic, he’ll be back in the driver’s seat shortly.
