Monday Lowdown: Tonight's Best Tuba-fied Option

The beginning of the year is generally a low-key time for going out and about in HumCo. Nevertheless, your Lowdown has returned from a sabbatical away perfecting socialism in Cuba to help ensure the first Monday of your 2015 does not suck butt.

How are we gonna do it? With tuba.

Thus, tonight at Jambalaya, ambitious beginning-of-the-week-revelers can get an earful of second liners Tubaluba, Seattle’s bearers of the New Orleans sound. Hear how Tubaluba blow their horns in the YouTube clip below.
