Your Humboldt Thursday boasts more joy than any of us have rightly earned, mostly in the form of bands. Wha? For younger Lowdown clickers, bands are musical ensembles featuring instrument-playing humans. Sometimes it gets weird.
Check ‘em out! Below are three high-energy bands — presented in YouTube form — that you have the option to fill your ears with this eve. From left to right:
