The Miniplex is hosting a mid-week creepshow with Loveland, Colorado’s Doom Scroll, an acoustic crust punk band with a unique sound built on heavy picking and the loud/quiet dynamics and bratty singing from the heyday of American emo music. If that scratches your itch, come get some relief tonight at 7:30 p.m.

I’m going to keep pumping up shows at Savage Henry Comedy Club for as long as it takes for the ship to right itself, the public to keep it afloat and beyond. I have an agenda when it comes to keeping our offbeat and one-of-a-kind clubs alive, particularly those who host all-ages shows, because Lord knows that was the sort of fun that saved my young ass time and again when there was nothing better to do.

It wouldn’t be a proper calendar year in Humco without a visit from Afroman, the busy cult-famous rapper and occasional presidential candidate whose prodigious output eclipses his early claim to fame, 2000’s “Because I Got High.” The man tours relentlessly and kicks out blunt wrapped comedy jams nearly yearly, so he’s a legend in my ledger. Tonight’s show is at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, sometime after the doors open at 7 p.m., and you can find tickets online for $37.18.

If you are in the mood for some funky country-etched rock and folky jump blues, the Logger Bar is the place to be. After 8 p.m. you will find two fine specimens of Americana sounds from the local scene, Corduroy Gangsters and Idle Spurs.
