Joy with No Cover Charge at Arcata Theatre Lounge Tonight

Wow. Really? Dry Branch Fire Squad are playing for free at Arcata Theatre Lounge Tuesday night? LoCO can't recall another occurrence of the ATL offering free music and the last time DBFS was here you'd of had to shell out $20 to hear 'em. Why the generosity? We're not going to look a aural gift horse in the mouth. If you're unsure if the Squad achieve the joy levels you require to put shoes on, remind yourself of their down home authenticity with this video LoCO shot when they stopped by KHUM last year. Good stuff.
