Here’s a free one, which means more cash for tips, merch and beverages. Funny Fish Freddie, hosted by Baseball Robby, is a show for alter egos, mascots and […]

Moss Oak Commons has another interesting DIY show at 7 p.m. Two groups touring up from Los Angeles, no-wave folk act Muscle Beach and industrial lounge artist Mitchell Brown, are in league with local noise creators Otolith, for what should be a lively night of sounds you will not be hearing anywhere else within a […]

Highway to van/wagon tour life duo Anna Moss and Joel Ludford, aka Handmade Moments, is jamming tonight at 7:30 p.m. The sound is hard to pin down, so I’ll list the ingredients instead: ukelele, upright bass, saxophone and vocals with beat box and purr. This should be a fun one for people who celebrate young […]

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 […]

Music Tonight: Wednesday, Aug. 6
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 […]

Back at the Miniplex again, this time for a touring trio of darkwave and post punk-inspired acts. Past Self from Las Vegas headlines the night, with a shoegaze sound merging English and Korean lyrics for a sound they call “K-Goth.” On the undercard are Sculpture Club from Dallas and Philadelphia’s the True Faith. Fans of […]

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 […]

It’s the first day of the mighty month of August, and as good a day as any to celebrate festival culture. If you are headed down to the 36th installment of Reggae on the River, or interested in such, I hope you have a great time. There’s plenty of info about it found elsewhere, so […]

Music Tonight: Thursday, July 31
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.

The Humboldt Folklife Society’s 46th annual Humboldt Folklife Festival featured a talented mix of performances by local musicians last week (July 22-26) under the sunny, then foggy, then sunny, then foggy … and finally sunny skies on closing day in Blue Lake. It was another successful festival, said longtime Folklife Festival volunteer and emcee Patrick […]
