Granted this show happens EVERY Tuesday, but considering it is one of the most fun musical nights you can have in Santa Cruz we figured it was time for a debut on the weekly list. Dubbed “Funk Night” by its dedicated weekly crowd, this $5 dollar event is a staple for those in the musical know. Gianni and his band of thieves put on one of the sweatiest, funkiest, rip-roarin’ shows this side of the San Lorenzo, so if you don’t know, now ya know. Tickets $5 door

Still flying under the radar after all these years, with a loyal following that’s always one step ahead.” Tickets $12 adv/$15 door
