The Absynth Quintet (finally) plays for Humboldt Surfrider

Those banjo players are quick, but the stand-up bass and Tofu's drum kit weighed down the Absynth Quintet boys just long enough for us to catch up to them, grab'em by an ear and say, "Play for us, darn you!" Knowing what was good for them, they put on their smilingest faces and promised to show up at Arcata Theatre Lounge for our August 5 Ocean Night. Now that we've corralled them, please make it worth everyone's while by coming out to support great music and important causes.

As always, Ocean Night is sponsored by Humboldt Surfrider, Humboldt Baykeeper and Ocean Conservancy. It's all ages and we're asking a $3-$10 donation – a bit more than usual, but it's an extra-special and slightly more expensive night – clearly, a total bargain! (Also seeking business sponsorships – email humboldt@surfrider.org.)

Films for the Thursday, Aug. 5 event are:

We're also featuring a video from Team Marine and some cool underwater freediving footage from locals Andrew Weltz and Kirby Morejohn.
