who: Calling all Monsters and West by Swan
when: June 28 - 8pm - $?
where: Little Red Lion, 1506 5th, Eureka
what:
click for larger image West by Swan falls loosely into the grey area of post rock, click for larger image wandering about on the same sonic terrain as Mogwai or Explosions in the Sky, but with one foot always staying home to kick around riffs with the rockers and the punk kids. Sonic Youth is mucking around in the noise somewhere, as is Fugazi’s insistent heartbeat, pumping fuel onto the fire (CD Baby)

Calling all Monsters:click for larger image They are like the RUN DMCclick for larger image of independent rock except there are 4 of 'em, they aren't black, they are from San Francisco, and they don't have turntables (Alicyn Sterling)

when: June 28 - 10pm - $5
where: The Alibi, 744 9th, Arcata
what:
DRAGGEDbyHORSES (angular rock from Arcata) and Wah-Wah Exit Wound (Seattle prog-rock)

Wah-Wah Exit Wound: click for larger image The quartet's monster guitars, attack-drums,click for larger image and dramatic tempo changes are mysteriously heavy, darkly psychedelic, and you can actually hear how long the bass player's hair is. The result gratifies audience and musician alike in long, rock-operatic songs (San Francisco Weekly)

click for larger image who: J Minus Summer Tour
when: June 29 - 10pm - $?
where: Little Red Lion, 1506 5th, Eureka
what:
Bird Names w/ J Minus

 

J Minus: The five-piece tends toward a folk-pop, soft-rock strategy that occasionally surges and swells. For the most part, though, the band prefers the soothing melancholy of acoustic guitars, vocal harmonies and ascending melodies that echo the longing and loss found in much of their catalog
(Seattle PI)

 

click for larger image Bird Names has outputted music with a recording-focused methodology for four years. click for larger image This newest album, "Open Relationship," represents a summit in these labors. Collaborating with producer Griffin Rodriguez (Beirut, Need New Body, Akron /Family, Man Man), Bird Names domesticate their willful sloppiness, shampooing and then combing the collateral harshness of past works. A spirit of vital rawness, core to the band, does linger, but a more considered playing of the studio enlightens what could be foggy arrangements with buoyant aural space, and crisply articulates the music's baroque imperfections (unsoundrecords.com)

where: Little Red Lion, 1506 5th, Eureka
what:
...not only a collection of skilledclick for larger image musicians and cohesive instrumentation, but music that is provoking and intelligent with lyrics to match. Like a mix of Arcade Fire and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah...the band's set left many audience members gaping and whispering in awe (PERFORMERmag.com)
