Music Tonight: Sunday, April 7
Posted By Collin Yeo on Sun, Apr 7, 2019 at 4:00 AM
Santa Barbara Math Rock trio Pookie makes the trip north to rattle the decor off the walls of the Outer Space tonight at 7 p.m. ($5-$20 sliding scale). Arcata prog outfit Farmhouse Odyssey will play a set while local singer, songwriter and bookseller Gabe Lubowe squeezes onto the bill, as well.
Speaking of squeezing and books, this gig will be bookended on either side of the hour by two performances at Fulkerson Hall by Delfeayo Marsalis and the Uptown Jazz Orchestra. The two shows, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., will feature the trombonist son and brother of one of New Orleans' royal families heading up a 16-piece jazz orchestra staffed with world class players ($66).

Music Tonight: Saturday, April 6
Posted By Collin Yeo on Sat, Apr 6, 2019 at 4:00 AM
Local hero Nicholas Dominic Talvola will be blowing his trumpet up at the Westhaven Center for the Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. Nick's traveling to Japan for a spell soon so consider this a temporary swan song to tide the public over before he returns from across the Pacific Ocean. Joining him for the evening will be RLA Trio doing what it does best ($10-$20 sliding scale).
Two hours later at Humbrews, Vancouver's own electro-dance pop global ravers Delhi 2 Dublin will bring its warehouse and festival show to the stage. Expect an intersection between tablas and sequencers ($15).

Photos from SCRAP's Rebel Craft Rumble
Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Fri, Apr 5, 2019 at 5:15 PM
With rain predicted this weekend, perhaps you need some indoor project inspiration. Peruse Mark McKenna's slideshow of last weekend's sixth annual SCRAP Humboldt Rebel Craft Rumble below and you're bound to have a creative breakthrough. The Iron-Chef-meets-Martha-Stewart cage match pits teams of glue gunslingers against one another for the title of Ultimate Supreme Craft Masters and an ever-growing trophy of alarming gaudiness.
Judges Mike Dronkers, last year's champs the R&C Craft Factory and Linda Wise scored the dueling duct tapers on their creative reuse projects, mostly unswayed by the blatant bribes. Meanwhile, the crowd ponied up cash for bonus craft materials to help out the teams.

Vintage San Francisco deathrock band Altar De Fey brings its dark and shredded songs to Eureka tonight. With a sound that was classically somewhere between early Killing Joke and Love in a Void-era Banshees, it should be interesting to see if the group has kept the intensity up. Along for the ride are a cohort of punkish acts, including Cross Contamination, Sue and the Namies, Wet Spot and Grimweeper. The time is 8 p.m., the price is $7 and the place is The Siren's Song. Huzzah.
