Music Tonight: Friday, Dec. 16

The local yacht-rock/smooth jazz/hip funster band Conman Bolo has been entertaining the 707 since the kids were all still music majors at what is now called Cal Poly Humboldt. But much like the name of that institution, the only constant in life is change, and all good things must come to an end. It seems that most of the members are shipping off from our charming backwater to try their odds at the industry in the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles. If you’d like a last chance to
hear the band do its thing, come over to the Miniplex tonight at 8 p.m. to catch a whiff. Palm Springs’ Javie Bahama opens ($5-$10 sliding scale).
If you want more of an EDM experience tonight, the Jam has you covered, with Arcane Artists’ second annual Wicked Winter night. The bill includes GMNIITE, DVINITY, Vagabond Dancers and more. 9:30 p.m. ($15-$18, $10 early bird). There’s also a sexy Santa contest, so think about that when digging through your wardrobe.
