Lowdown: Rock

Rock music is a rare gem in Humboldt County these days. As such, your Lowdown is going to ask that you go ahead and click play on that YouTube clip above. Those people in the video, they appear to be living their lives rather effectively. Now, the video itself is not great quality, but that’s part of the point. If you really want to experience the thunder that is Howlin’ Rain you actually have to go to HumBrews tonight. This is going to sound weird coming from LoCO, but life doesn’t always happen on screens.
