One last shout out — for this week — for the Logger Bar, where local metal is on the menu, with two excellent groups chugging it out at 8 p.m. Psyop Victim and War Möth have graced these pages many times before, and will many times in the future, if I have anything to say […]

Long May You Roll

Please bear in mind I am writing this on Monday, and this paper will be in your hands no sooner than Thursday, which is […]

I don’t know how many fans of early ’90s rap-rock and nu-metal are around, but if you are among them, prick up your ears for this gig at Humbrews at 8 p.m. Hed PE are veterans of the eclectic electric scene that formed in the wake of Faith No More’s late ’80s and early ’90s […]

The Miniplex is hosting Los Angeles band Dummy tonight at 8:30 p.m. The group is relatively new, with its 2021 record Mandatory Enjoyment on Trouble in Mind records making a big splash in the underground music scene for its excellent stitching of ambient landscapes filled with pop guitar song work. Sacramento’s San Kazakgascar is as […]

The last day of July seems like a fine time to mention the free Eureka Summer Concert Series on Madaket Plaza at 6 p.m. This week’s talent is a band called Rash, which, despite the name, isn’t a crust punk band, but a Rush tribute band. Fans of that now decommissioned trio, take note.

After Forever

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, we are introduced to Enkidu, an Akkadian beast man who through his own brazen disregard for the customs of human deference to the gods, is banished from life into a netherworld exile. Native […]

Cory Hanson of psych-band Wand fame, blew a very big hole into the landscape for himself two years ago with the release of his acclaimed record Western Cum on Drag City Records. Since then, he has been only building on his fascinating take on psychedelia and rock weirdness. This is wall-melting death trip music, with […]

A lot of mini-festival fun, unique in ways which are purely Humboldt County ways, is happening today and into the weekend. Starting at 3 p.m., it’s the first day of Outer Roominations outside of Loleta — more on that in Sunday’s entry — but my suggestion is a trip to Blue Lake, where at 7 […]
