🎸🎹🥁This THURSDAY at 🕰️7 pm, ⭐️NAIMA BOCK (💿Sub Pop, 🇬🇧London) and ⭐️BLUB (Humboldt) - 🌞EARLY show‼️ “Cinematic and spectral...songs that sound like they could be passed down for years to come." -Stereogum on NAIMA BOCK✍🏼

👉A former member of London post-punk band ⭐️Goat Girl, the roots of NAIMA BOCK’s music are far reaching. Born in Glastonbury to a 🇧🇷Brazilian father and a 🇬🇷Greek mother, Naima spent her early childhood in Brazil before eventually returning to the U.K. as a singer/songwriter who defies easy classification. “Braids together English folk, fluttering Tropicalia, and elements of ‘60s psych.” -Pitchfork, 34 Great Records You May Have Missed✍🏼

🪻☂️🎸This SATURDAY (8/17)‼️ 💜THE IAN FAYS are a Northern California indie pop-rock group comprised of identical twin sisters Lizzie and Sara. The Fays released their first album 💿 in October 2003 while living in 🌲Humboldt County. In the years to follow, they toured the US and Europe 🌍 multiple times, before taking a hiatus to foster a new generation of little Fays.

On October 31st, 2023, for their 20 year anniversary🎉 as a band, The Ian Fays released the title-track single from their latest album. 💿’Viola' is the 5th LP from the twins and offers more tunes you are inclined to sway and smile to - replete with references to 🎤, Las Vegas👯‍♀️, holidays🎄, and haunted stuff👻- all the while addressing the hard knocks of life, purple cocktail in hand.🍸

With local support from ⭐️HEY, ELEANOR. 🕰️Bar opens at 6 pm. Music starts after 8:30 pm. 🎟️ in comments. 21+

🔥🎻🧌This TUESDAY (8/13) at 8❗️🔥RUSHADICUS “The Cello Goblin” (Rushad Eggleston) is a 🎻cellist provocateur, 🎭performance artist, and the inventor of the musical genre ⚔️”sneth metal." 🎟️ in comments!

🎼After a formal music education, his work in the bluegrass, Americana and rock worlds garnered awards and international recognition🏆, yet failed to fulfill his goblin heart.🫀 So, Rushadicus developed “Sneth Metal,” a new sound that defies all expectations, logic and form. It’s 💥virtuoso improvisation and 💥wild, immersive theater. It’s hilarious. It’s deeply disturbing. It’s great art that rejects the traditional forms of music and deconstructs the very idea of entertainment.🔥

🍹Bar opens at 6 pm for 🌮Taco Tuesday! 🕰️Music after 8 pm. 21+

🥁🎹🎸🎤SATURDAY night (8/13) at 8:30❗️With dreamlike hooks, choral vocals and MOOG pitch-bends, Magic Fig’s debut on 💿 Silver Current Records proves that the technicolor heart of San Francisco’s psychedelic lineage 🔮 is still beating. Featuring alumni from the Bay Area’s best and brightest pop, psychedelic and garage bands (⭐️The Umbrellas, ⭐️Whitney’s Playland, ⭐️Almond Joy and ⭐️Healing Potpourri among them), Magic Fig's debut is a distinctive melding of 🔥prog rock and 🔥pop joy reminiscent of the 🔥60s/70s Canterbury greats.

🕰️Bar opens at 6 pm, 🎸music after 8:30 pm in The Miniplex. Arrive on time for an opening set from ❄️WINTER BAND- a Humboldt free music collective most often made up of members of ⭐️Six Organs of Admittance, ⭐️Heron Oblivion, ⭐️Magik Markers, ⭐️Howlin Rain and ⭐️Sky Green Leopards. 21+🍺

🥁💥🎸FRIDAY (7/26), Brazillan rhythm dealers 🔥ORUÃ (feat. former members of ⭐️BUILT TO SPILL) and Utah's 🔥DAD BOD bring their co-headlining U.S. tour to Arcata!

🔥DAD BOD is an indie alternative band out of Salt Lake City, Utah, who have been described as "Mild High Club + Loving + George Harrison" by SLUG Magazine and "the epitome of chill rock" by the Utah Statesman. 💿Their third album will be released this summer.

Rio de Janeiro band 🔥ORUÃ blend lo-fi indie rock, krautrock, noise, afrobeat, and Brazilian references that range from Luiz Gonzaga’s primal Pernambuco sound to classic Brazilian psych rock. In 2019 their sound was discovered by Doug Martsch, which led him to invite two members to become temporary members of BUILT TO SPILL. 💿Later they recorded, co-produced, and co-mixed Built to Spill’s most recent album, released in 2022 on Sub Pop Records.

🥃Bar opens at 6 pm. 🎸Music at 8:30 pm with local act 🔥SNEAKY MANDY. 21+🍺

🌈🌵🎸TUESDAY 7/2: “A band that remembers the grit and grunge and cruising culture of the Bay Area that’s still there if you scratch beneath the surface.” -Country Everywhere📌

🎹⭐️Country Risqué is America’s riskiest country band: 🏜️classic honky-tonk, modern values. Defined by the contrast of Miles Gordon’s rich, formally trained vocals and romantic lyrics with Daniel Bromfield’s dark humor and deadpan singing style, Country Risqué explores q***r love and disillusionment in the language of classic tear-in-my-beer honky-tonk music.💧🍺 They’re joined by Richard Moog on lead guitar, Tomas Georgiou on drums, Forest Reid on the lap steel, and Oscar Garcia on bass.

🔥With support from 🌲Humboldt’s own ⭐️Lxs Perdidxs! 🍹Bar opens at 6 pm, for Taco Tuesday!🌮 Music starts after 8:30 pm. 🎟️ sliding scale. 21+🍺
