With the Huckleberry Flint show at the Old Steeple sold out (according to the venue’s website, anyway), I’m going to recommend two shows in Arcata, both at 9 p.m. Once again, Humbrews is hosting the Stink Foot Orchestra, a group dedicated to playing the rock works of the late Frank Zappa, fronted by Napoleon Murphy Brock, one of the most popular vocalists from the 1970s version of his group ($25). Meanwhile, over at the Miniplex, it’s a found-sound, psych-rock type of night, with Invisible Dog from Los Angeles teaming up with sometimes-locals Winter Band (featuring members from Comets on Fire and Skygreen Leopards) and Anthony Taibbi from White Manna’s act Spunflower. Ten bucks is beyond reasonable for a crack at hearing the assorted talent on deck.
