Hallelujah, hallelujah, he is risen. For those of you celebrating in any fashion today, I have two disparate gigs for you, and you can personally decide which among the two is more holy or blasphemous. Over at the
Siren's Song Tavern at
6 p.m., you can enjoy some old school, punk, power-violence and d-beat tunes in a seven-band (!) lineup, which includes locals
Cynicism, Human Soup Hot Tub and
Psyborg, along with touring acts
Merked, Pillars, Savage and
Filth is Eternal. A $20 bill gets you in the door for this minifest and if you are a metal fan, this is the one. An hour earlier, you can catch a maybe weirder spectacle, when the
Arcata Theatre Lounge presents a showing of
Jesus Christ Superstar, which somehow seems more demonic. Get in the door for $8 and pay an extra $4 to get a poster.
