Nashville’s electro-punk and dance act Terror Pigeons settles down at the Outer Space tonight at 7 p.m. for an evening of sound loops and confessional bedroom rock music. Also on deck is Swirlhood a trio of singers and strummers who have carved out yet another divot in the world of DIY songwriting and performance. Local players Vegan Slaughterhouse will also be lending its considerable stage skills for the evening. No one turned away for lack of funds and otherwise $5-$20 sliding scale.

Speaking of Vegan Slaughterhouse, the band is playing again tonight, this time on the undercard of what looks like it’s going to be a real banger over at the Siren’s Song Tavern at 7:30 p.m. Swiss and Dutch duo The Sex Organs comes down from the Alps and up from the continental low country to share its filthy garage punk sounds and custom costumed antics for the people of our county. On the bill as well and providing excellent local support and representation is Clean Girl and the Dirty Dishes, another duo not afraid to embrace its catchy, campy, kitschy and dirty sides ($10).

Submitted Dr. Sumeet Anand plays the Sanctuary at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22.

Weird Al Yankovic is famous for a great many parody songs and as well as highly stylized original songs, like the Devo-inspired “Dare to be Stupid,” the title song from his massive 1985 hit album, the success of which allowed him to break into more than a cult film, UHF — originally titled The Vidiot

The Sanctuary is hosting a North Indian vocal concert in the Dhrupad tradition, a style that is as old as it gets for classical Hindustani vocal music. Dr. Sumeet Anand is the evening’s vocalist and will be accompanied by Amol Ghode on the pakhawaj, a two-headed, cylindrical drum. Tabla soloist Colby Beers will be opening the show at 7 p.m.

Speaking of the Sanctuary, James Zeller and friends will be putting on a special seasonal jazz show over at the Arcata Playhouse this evening at 6:20 p.m. called Leaves and Sleeves: Songs of Autumn. There will be two sets, the first being the thematic one and a second running after a short break with a looser vibe. The door is $15-$30 sliding scale. Come mingle and jingle and mark the passage of time.

The Humboldt Committee for Peace and Justice is putting on a walk and vigil for the victims of the ongoing collective punishment, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Palestine. People of conscience are encouraged to gather at the foot of D street at 11 a.m., where they will then peacefully walk to the Old Town Gazebo Plaza for a nonviolent gathering of reflection. “Participants are encouraged to dress in black to observe the solemnity of the event,” which will last until 1 p.m. At

Another Tuesday night in the Northern 707, another chance to catch some jazz courtesy of the Opera Alley Cats at the Speakeasy at 7 p.m. It’s a free gig but bring some scratch for my buddy Brian and the rest of the boys in the band. Tip your bartenders, too, please.

Another free option for your jazz fix happens a day later in the week and a few hours earlier in the day. The Logger Bar is hosting Jazz Bros today at 4 p.m. and, although I haven’t had the chance to check out this gig yet, the name really kind of says it all. If I miss this week’s installment and it turns out to be something far different than what I expected, please feel free to report back.

Local blues master Buddy Reed is playing a solo gig at the Kaptain’s Quarters tonight at 8 p.m. He might not be accompanied by his backing band Th’ Rip It Ups but I guarantee ripping licks will still be on the menu.
