Festivus!

Same Tuesday at Nocturnum, it’s an evening of swingin’ psychobilly, burlesque and blues with Big John Bates and The Voodoo Dollz, a wild and crazy combo from Vancouver, BC, who were driven out by Olympic fever. They’re touring with Reverend Deadeye’s no man gospel band, another one of those down ’n’ dirty one-man blues stompers.

Add to the never-ending series of bass-heavy electro-groove dance parties: Thursday, Feb. 25, Team Bunny Bear takes a break from wedding planning for a free Red Fox show: Hit the Breaks! with Touch and Sycamore. Saturday TBB is back at the Fox with Energy Alchemist from Mendocino and Cadence (also free). In between, on Friday, they’ll be part of the crowd at the Arcata Theatre Lounge when Beats Antique and Danny Corn rock the house.

And finally, a reminder: Austin’s amazing Asylum Street Spankers play Thursday, Feb. 25, at Humboldt Brews. (It’s also Jess’ birthday. HBD!!) Be there.
