THURSDAY LOWDOWN: A Band Name So Good, We Can’t* Put It on Our Homepage

Without further ado: Hong Kong Fuck You. That’s the glorious name of the Tijuana-based punk band that will test the structural integrity of Arcata’s Froth — that’s the joint now occupying the old Blondies location just north of Cal Poly Humboldt. Judging by the clip above, the building will be thoroughly inspected.

Also slated to assault eardrums: local bands Brain Dead Rejects, Gourmandizer, Psyop Victim and Radical Apes. Full details on that show and other less-profane gatherings in your Thursday Lowdown below.

(* I mean, we totally could’ve, but it was more fun to do it this way.)
