Friday Lowdown: Move Your Butt
Scrolling around your Humboldt Friday’s Lowdown listings, well, it seems like you’re probably going to have to shake thine moneymaker in Arcata this evening. Butt-moving highlights:
- Arcata Theatre Lounge: Balkan Beat Box has spent more than a decade now combining Mediterranean music and electronica to audiences worldwide. Sample that recipe in the clip above.
- Humboldt Brews: Fraktal Productions corrals a group of beat peddlers for a night headlined by a DJ/classically trained trumpet player known as saQi.
- The Jam: Can you dance in outer space? The organizers of Club Triangle hope that you’ll at least try during this month’s Sci-Fi Fantasy-themed edition.
