Speaking of local treasures from a certain era, the ever-fine Barking Dogma are playing at the Wild Hare Tavern tonight at 8 p.m., where for a mere $5 you can see a Humboldt institution play some gems by Kevyn Dymond in the new skin of the old Jambalaya. Things change and the spirit endures.
If you want something more electronic for later, there’s a big DJ shindig at the Arcata Theatre Lounge starting at 9 p.m. S!ck!ck is a Toronto-based global purveyor of electronic dance music with hip hop flashes and house stylings. He will be accompanied tonight by Esch, D’Vinity, LVSTRNG and Spenny. If you feel like minting a DJ stage name for yourself, try removing the vowels and/adding some punctuation to your legal name or favorite slur. No pressure — it costs the same to get in either way, which is $50, as the advance tickets are sold out.
