Weren’t you just saying your life was lacking drag disco aliens? Well, then your Lost Coast Outpost invites you to kick off your week on the good/weird foot by allowing the new music video starring Jacki & The Jollies to invade your senses. Resistance, as they say, is futile.

A vehicle for The Jollies’ track “Don’t Go,” the Tyson Ritter-produced clip uses both Eureka’s Friday Night Market and The Basement in Arcata as settings and features background vocals and stylish strutting from local performer Komboujia. 

If you like seeing Humboldt artists in Humboldt places, give the video your precious three minutes. Then — should you crave more of these sounds for your brain/butt — note that Jacki & The Jollies are scheduled to funk up the Gazebo Stage at the July 25 edition of Eureka’s Friday Night Market.

Do go.

(UPDATE: We have also been informed that J&TJ will play some tunes and be interviewed on KSLG sometime mid-morning on Wednesday. Turn your dials.)
