As I mentioned before, I will be loading up the weekend with goodies because the pantry is bare afterward and, for the sake of that project, tonight is the beginning of that process. First up, at the Outer Space at 7 p.m., Brain-Dead Rejects and Kolonizer are playing a horror punk drag show for a sliding scale cover of $5-$20. After that, here are two shows, both starting after 8:30 p.m., that each look like a piece of fun. At the Logger Bar, you can shake it out to the sounds of Big 8, a local collective of musicians playing New Orleans funk and soul and general upbeat Americana. No cover for this one, so tip your bartenders and the band. Meanwhile, back in Arcata, the Miniplex is hosting the driving beats of Austin, Texas’ art punk oddballs Being Dead. Portland tourmates Nug are a trio that dabbles in post-punk noise dynamics with the best of them. This should be a fine and loud time for all in the glorious sonic cave attached to Richards’ Goat ($15, $18 at the door).
