WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: Can We Interest You in Some Chilean Punk?
Lately you may have noticed that Monday is not the only night that’s “Metal” at Savage Henry Comedy Club anymore. In an attempt to appease Humboldt’s noise seeking hordes, there has been an increasing amount of band activity on other various nights of the week.
This week’s “Metal Wednesday” is the latest example of this phenomenon. No less than Chilean punk ska band Skaldik headlines the night. (Another note: We’re getting real loose with what constitutes “metal,” which is fine.) Check out Skaldik in the clip above and/or scroll your Lowdown listings below for other midweek delights.
