Friday Lowdown: Crabs, Dance, Island Sounds, and Too Many Bands

An eclectic mix of visual and aural options for Humboldt’s Friday fun fanciers:

  • The sounds of smaller land masses will emanate from the Arcata Theatre Lounge thanks to the Queens of the Islands Tour. The double bill features Hawaiian folk/pop star Anuhea and Jamaican reggae singer Etana. Sample both artists’ styles in the pair of videos below.
  • The twirling beauties at North Coast Dance have managed to swipe the keys to the Arkley Center for their annual Spring Show featuring a grab bag choreography selections from West Side Story to Swan Lake. 
  • Crabs! Crabs! Crabs!
  • No less than seven local band-y bands will split haunt Blue Lake and Eureka at a pair of cool kids shows. Roll call! Logger Bar: Let it Fever, The Lost Luvs, Monster Women; Siren’s Song Tavern: Coffin Moth, Smooth Weirdos, Dead Drift, The Mother Vines. Let sound and beer wash over you.
  • If those those new-fangled groups above seem like they’d require more thinking than you wanted to do on a Friday, you can always zone out to top shelf Grateful Dead covers somewhere in Humboldt (tonight it’s with Miracle Show at Humboldt Brews).
