Drum ‘n ‘ bass is making a sort of comeback in the local DJ scene and I couldn’t be happier. I prefer my electronic dance music to be low-concept and deep, pounding into my skull until all the connections are frayed and the only impulse left is the override switch designed to make your ass […]

Abbie Gardner is a woman of many talents. As one third of the all-female folk trio Red Molly (named after a character in Richard Thompson’s magnificent song “1952 Vincent Black Lightning”), she pulls off vocal duties while deftly picking out melodies on her dobro and is known for her acoustic guitar and lap steel work […]

Kris Kristofferson needs no introduction at this point. His songs, usually covered by more famous artists like Janis Joplin or Johnny Cash, have been a staple of rock and country radio for nearly half a century. Still, if you are one of the lucky ones who bought tickets for tonight’s show at the Van Duzer […]
Go On Without Me
I went out a few times this last week, and I am paying for it now. From Blue Lake to Eureka, I trekked about for social and musical engagements, and now I am a wreck. I trusted you, Humboldt, and you have rewarded my childlike faith in your essential goodness by giving me your germs. […]

Music Tonight: Monday, Jan. 8
The name is Molasses, but when it plays its bouncy and loud queer punk at The Outer Space tonight at 7 p.m. this Minneapolis band will probably evoke faster moving liquids than the titular sticky sweet stuff (in winter too no less!) Joining Molasses is Marseille, France’s Roxy’s Angry, the continental answer to Bauhaus, The […]

It’s still pretty mellow out there during the college winter’s break, so here are two correspondingly low-key joints which reflect that fact. Starting at 6 p.m. at the restaurant in the Victorian Inn, Jeffery Smoller will be playing instrumental jazz guitar sets for your dining and/or wining pleasure. (Free.) A lovely trio and personal favorite […]
