I love a good show at the Arcata Veterans Hall, and tonight’s line-up can’t be beat, especially the headliners. I’m talking about the return of the Bow-Legged Buzzards, my favorite rot-gut country thrashers led by the devil’s own fiddler himself, Phill Irvine. Rounding out the bill are mega-riffsters Ultramafic and Marble Jar, for whom I have lost my notes and, one can say, my marbles. I probably deserve to be beaten like a shit-dipped cur for that last line, but I have no regrets. The gig starts at 7 p.m. because some of the neighbors are land-rich squares and have been since I was a kid getting the cops called on me for reading in the nearby park. Fuck ’em, go have fun and make some noise. Nothing’s free these days, but $10 is well worth it for tonight’s gig.
