SUMMARY:Combo Chimbita (NY)\, La Mancha at Outer Space
DESCRIPTION:$10 all ages\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nCombo Chimbita (Tropical-futurist Cumbia Psych from NYC)\nRooted in Colombia and based in New York\, Combo Chimbita lives in the future. After playing together for years\, these first-generation New Yorkers—powerhouse vocalist Carolina Oliveros\, synth and bassist Prince of Queens\, guitarist Niño Lento\, and drummer Dilemastronauta—began experimenting with different traditional musical styles during their late night residencies at Barbès in Brooklyn. Exploring the connections between visual identity and improvisational long-form trips\, Combo Chimbita came together as a four-piece band after they started encouraging more vocals by Carolina Oliveros\, who tightens the rhythm with her guacharaca. “Although their backgrounds are in heavy rock\, metal\, and psychedelic funk and soul\, they gleefully fuse elements from cumbia\, 70s funaná from Cape Verde\, kompa from Haiti as well as salsa & reggae\, mixing the Guacharaca and futuristic-yet-retro synth sounds.” John Schaefer\, WNYC\nhttp://www.combochimbita.com/bio \nLa Mancha – Cumbia Psych Rock from Arcata \n~~~~~~~~~~~~\nOuter Space is run by Breakfast All Day Collective\, a dreammaker project of the ink people center for the arts. OS is all ages\, ADA accessible\, safer space\, no drugs/alcohol.\nEmail outerspacearcata@gmail.com with any questions

SUMMARY:Geist & the Sacred Ensemble/Die Geister Beschwören/Medicine Baul
DESCRIPTION:7:00-10PM // $5 // All Ages\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nGeist & the Sacred Ensemble:\nGeist & the Sacred Ensemble forge a doom-inflected folk ritualism; dirges tinged with Eastern psychedelia and meandering meditative trances. Their tunes exist as an ever-changing pilgrimage; transforming their abstract drifts into apocalyptic folk hymns or private confessionals. In addition to acoustic and electric guitars\, bass and percussion kits. They use gongs\, gamelans\, banjo and tools like power drills\, hammers and chains to add texture.\nGeist started solo in 2005 after Michael Ray Sauder left Geist Road in Lancaster\, Pa (PA Dutch Country) and hitched-hiked around the United States with a childhood friend. The music is inspired from that trip and experiences of growing up as a gravedigger from a Christian household. By 2009 a rotating cast of musicians joined in and Geist & the Sacred Ensemble was born.\nhttp://www.geistandthesacredensemble.com/\ngeistthesacredensemble.bandcamp.com \nDie Geister Beschwören:\nDie Geister Beschwören (“Call Up The Ghosts”) is an exploration of dusty field recordings and instrumentation collected from around the globe. Die Geister materialized in the late nineties from behind the Redwood Curtain and has been observed developing modestly alongside the psychedelic roller coasters\, Datura Blues and Beast\, Please Be Still. While these outfits satisfy a collective effort and engage in more grandiose musical pursuits\, Die Geister Beschwören demonstrates an enthusiasm for Ethnomusicology and American Primitive\, with camaraderie towards the New Weird America.\ndiegeisterbeschworen.tumblr.com\ndiegeisterbeschworen.bandcamp.com \nMedicine Baul:\nConstantly evolving Arcata music collective.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5JZOlpiVWI&feature=youtu.be \nEmail outerspacearcata@gmail.com with any questions\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nAll Ages // Safer Space // Sober Space // ADA Accessible

SUMMARY:Foxtails Brigade // Belles of the Levee // Sway Sisters
DESCRIPTION:7-10PM // $5 // All Ages\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nFoxtails Brigade (San Francisco):\n“The band’s live show is a clockwork of junkyard beats\, warped orchestral sonics\, and Laura’s trademark voice and classical guitar intricacies with an A-List ensemble featuring performing members of Bright Eyes\, Van Dyke Parks\, and John Kale. The songs tackle subjects of substitute teaching in the Oakland and LA public school scenes\, steak appreciation\, and general unfairness awareness with a warped pop sensibility akin to influences like St. Vincent\, Joanna Newsom\, The Smiths\, and Spoon.\nWhile the group’s previous material\, fueled by hazy chamber-folk melodies and spectral strings\, reached inwards\, Foxtails Brigade detonates their sound in all directions. The collective of Bay Area artists’ “fully realized” lineup employs a vast kaleidoscope of peculiar percussion and newfound synthesizers alongside Patzner’s cinematic arrangements and Weinbach’s distinct guitar figures. Working with producer Saltzman\, Foxtails Brigade celebrates a newfound sense of directness and clarity without sacrificing an ounce of intricacy. Like everything the band accomplishes on their self-titled record\, it’s defiant yet wounded\, sweet yet fierce; the sound of underdogs who won’t go away quietly. If we’re sinking\, Foxtails Brigade tells us\, then let’s explode into fireworks”\nhttp://www.hungryflies.org/\nhttps://foxtailsbrigade.bandcamp.com/ \nBelles of the Levee:\n“Close harmony jazz/blues Sirens dive into the deep muddy currents of 1920s-1930s American Roots music and beyond to bring you tunes so old they’re new!”\nhttps://bellesofthelevee.bandcamp.com/releases \nSway Sisters and the Soft Opening:\nAlt folk harmonies against darkness. \nEmail outerspacearcata@gmail.com with any questions\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nAll Ages // Safer Space // Sober Space // ADA Accessible

SUMMARY:Deaf Wish // The Tweeners // CV
DESCRIPTION:7-10PM // $8 // All Ages\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nDeaf Wish (Melbourne\, Australia Subpop Records):\nThere’s an inherent flaw in the perennially alternating “rock is back” and “rock is dead” arguments: they are based on the idea that rock music is a logic-based choice a person consciously chooses to make. Contrary to the critics who are looking to suss out cultural trends and movements (but have never actually lifted a greasy bass cab onto a stage in order to entertain a couple dozen people)\, the decision to play loud\, distorted\, unabashed guitar-rock isn’t a strategic move but a higher calling (or curse\, depending on one’s point of view). Some might say the pursuit of rocking out via deafening amplifiers\, crusty drums and a beer-battered PA is a spiritual one\, an affliction that either strikes or doesn’t. Few groups today embody this sentiment like Melbourne’s aptly-named Deaf Wish. \nThey’re more likely to ask a fellow musician what they do for their “real” job (for one\, guitarist Jensen Tjhung works as a builder) than talk shop about publicists\, ticket counts and online promotions. They’re a grisly rock group and they’ve already signed to Sub Pop\, which is to say they’ve already succeeded beyond their wildest dreams\, so anything that comes after (performing in strange new cities\, meeting like-minded souls\, maybe even selling a t-shirt or two) is a bonus. And if they come to your town\, you would be wise to clear your calendar: “I’ve started pouring a can of beer on my head every show. If that ain’t worth five bucks then I’m quitting show biz for good\,” promises Tjhung. \nLithium Zion is their fifth full-length album (and second for Sub Pop following 2015’s Pain)\, and while it’s a rare case that a group’s fifth album is their best\, particularly any band operating under a “loud fast rules” ethos\, Deaf Wish make a strong case as the exception. Their previous albums were all recorded in makeshift studios (Is that a basement with some quilts stapled to the ceiling? Now it’s a “studio”!)\, which of course is a wise aesthetic choice for capturing the hazardous riffing\, chemically-stained vocals and fiery rhythms conjured by a group such as this\, but this step toward a slightly more professional sound only enhances their power – think of the difference between a tangled pile of firecrackers and a red stick of TNT lodged in a hornets nest. The record opens with “Easy”\, a languid rocker in the rich Australian tradition of groups like X and The Scientists. From there it’s onto “FFS”\, a moody downhill rocker sung by guitarist Sarah Hardiman (“I feel like a fool / out playing pool / hitting on you”) that confirms Deaf Wish’s relation to fellow Sub Pop employees like feedtime and Hot Snakes. “The Rat Is Back” is tense and epic; “Hitachi Jackhammer” pays a brief and noisy tribute to Hitachi’s second most notable device (you’d be forgiven for assuming this song is about vibrators). Lithium Zion is a veritable buffet of garage-punk energy\, post-punk pathos\, sardonic wit and the fearlessness that comes with Aussie rock\, a natural consequence for anyone living on a continent teeming with grapefruit-sized spiders and man-eating mosquito swarms. \nAs has always been the case\, the whole group shares vocal duties\, even drummer Daniel Twomey (you know the band is slightly unhinged if they’re letting the drummer sing). Hardiman and Tjhung are as ragged and hairy as ever\, chugging along as though krautrock was trying to speed past the late ‘70s but got caught in the sticky grasp of punk. Such is the way of Deaf Wish\, a group destined to write songs that are simultaneously stupid and sublime\, vulnerable and ferocious\, and play them with the unbridled intensity they demand. Anyone serving a life sentence to rock will surely concur.\n– Matt Korvette\nhttps://deafwishstyle.bandcamp.com/ \nThe Tweeners:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/The-Tweeners-252893024744500/\nhttp://soundcloud.com/pmp-disk \nCV:\n“Freaked out\, high-energy dance rock with sci-fi themes” out of Eureka.\nhttps://cvxl.bandcamp.com/ \nEmail outerspacearcata@gmail.com with any questions\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nAll Ages // Safer Space // Sober Space // ADA Accessible
