Don’t ask me how, but we have hit the shoreline of the second season of the year and considering the windy wake of this winter’s wet wallop, not a moment too soon. There are many ways to celebrate this shift, from the internal reset to the journal entry to a nude, screaming barbaric yawp and plop into a body of cold water.

Savage Henry Comedy Club is hosting another Metal Monday and tonight’s line-up has a distinct grind flavor, so fans of extreme noise and outer-reach sounds should prick up your ears. Our scene will be represented by Malicious Algorithm and Sadistic Hallucinations, while Seattle is sending some rotten sonic spores in the form of the bands Rat King, Re-Buried and Isenordal.

Regular readers will already know my preamble for this holiday, so I’ll make it brief. I’m one of the few American guys named Collin who doesn’t flex on claims of Irish heritage, and I bartended too much to pretend to enjoy this plastic Paddy green beer fest.

Luke and Rachael Price are a married couple who form the structure of the roots and country-fried soul act Love, DEAN. The fella plays fiddle and backup, while Rachael sings and strums to a gospel-tuned style of uplifting songwriting.

Seattle trio Biblioteka struts a wide line across a garage rock and punk frontier littered with chewed-up bubblegum pop and distorted grunge debris. Big sounds and big fun come wrapped up in a tight, bombastic package, like a TNT glitter-bomb.

Sansfu is a portmanteau word for sans Tofu, which isn’t a menu option, but rather a reference to the members of Absynth Quartet when they are performing without the drummer (his nickname is Tofu, you see). However, the plot thickens tonight at the Basement because the group is working with some additions: new mandolin player Amanda Malachesky and star chanteuse/multi-instrumentalist Beverly Twist.

The World-Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra is an institution which will forever be associated with the pinnacle of World War II-era big band jazz, in no small part because its eponymous founder disappeared into the fog of war aboard an allied air force plane headed from England to France sometime in the hours before the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge.

It’s just another Metal Monday over at Savage Henry Comedy Club at 6 p.m., so don’t go wishing it were Sunday, even if that’s your I-don’t-have-to-run-day. These are fun, too.

There are two world-class, world music ensembles available at your pleasure tonight at 8 p.m. but, due to the nature of time and space in our particular reality, you will have to decide which one fits your tastes better. Over at the Arcata Playhouse, as a part of the tail-end of the Zero to Fierce Festival, you will find the Balkan women’s group Kitka, whose bright costumes weave into the incredible harmonies found in their source material, which includes everything from dances to dirges from one of the most culturally diverse regions of the planet ($25).
