Lowdown: Arcata’s Monday Soul Chunk
Arcata’s Monday night funk showdown pits out-of-town soul warriors vs. local jammy stewards of rhythm. Over at HumBrews, Austin’s own T Bird and The Breaks bring a ‘70s sensibility to making your ass move — sample in the YouTube clip above. They best bring it: Normally Monday funking is delegated to The Getdown crew that jams weekly at Jambalaya.
Can Arcata’s Monday handle this much funk? Will a peace accord be brokered at 1:47 a.m. at Don’s Donuts? Go watch live musicians, ruin your Tuesday, and find out.
