Speaking of the Siren’s Song Tavern and shows whose start time promises a bit of evening sunshine over the nearby water, 8 p.m. is a good time to return to port to check out a very cool gig to help inaugurate your work week. Portland sextet Abronia plays longform, psychedelically- tinged soundtrack tunes fit for […]

The Siren’s Song Tavern is hosting a fun retro pop and surf rock show, with The Snares and The California Poppies providing the former, while The Starhoppers dip into the latter genre. The sun will still be out for this 7 p.m. show and $10 at the door leaves you with some beer money if […]

I have unfortunately broken my homemade John Dee scrying ball in the exertion required to discover the details of Monday’s show (it started sparking almost immediately, whereupon I tossed it into my neighbor’s decorative pond, where it is, as of press time, still smoking and bubbling like a submerged Tesla Model S). So I have […]

Los Angeles garage rock power trio Blurry Stars is making a stop on its tour to play some hi- octane, high quality indie rock for the people of our county. The spot is the Siren’s Song Tavern, which means I have to dust off my John Dee scrying ball (created by a proprietary list of […]

If you are in the mood to see a big screen presentation of John Carpenter’s classic Reagan-Era dystopian (I’m being redundant, I know) sci-fi masterpiece They Live, then head over to the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 6 p.m., where $5 will get you inside and $9 will let you leave with a poster. I can […]

What’s that you say? You’d like a little more metal in your ears? Well, here ya go. The Siren’s Song Tavern is hosting Canada’s death metal act Atrae Bilis (“black bile”) at 7 p.m., for a show that will include support acts Echo Death and Sacrophilus Satanicus. As I do with as many of the […]

The Siren’s Song Tavern is hosting a night of grind-oriented metal, with Knoll from Tennessee rolling in on a local’s joint featuring Malicious Algorithm, God is War and Grug! This is chug chug scream metal, not noodley falsetto metal, and the price is $10. Everything kicks off at 7 p.m.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, he is risen. For those of you celebrating in any fashion today, I have two disparate gigs for you, and you can personally decide which among the two is more holy or blasphemous. Over at the Siren’s Song Tavern at 6 p.m., you can enjoy some old school, punk, power-violence and d-beat tunes […]

Another type of heavy show is going down at the Siren’s Song tonight at 8 p.m., one that features an artier style of screaming noise. Shively’s Blackplate, one of my favorite bands in this wild county, is sharing the stage with two groups that I have only heard online, Cardboard and Monkey Business. However, I […]

Heavy, heavy, heavy show tonight at 7 p.m. at Siren’s Song Tavern. If you like the extreme end of metal, you’ll love the sets by Narc from Sacramento, Washington State’s Burial Rites and local chuggers and grinders Psyop Victim (whom I have given my stamp of approval to in columns past), and Grug. For this […]

Ah, Tuesdays are notoriously slow this time of year as well. However, you can still grab an instrument and roll over to the Siren’s Song Tavern at 8 p.m. to join in on the weekly open jam. Fair warning: The scene is fairly Grateful Dead-ish, so if that isn’t your thing, perhaps go check out […]
