KRS-One at The Catalyst Main Stage
Activist, actor, writer, producer, and Emcee, KRS-ONE will be bringing his legendary persona to Santa Cruz this Thursday. Although this is a small blurb, even if we had 10 pages it wouldn’t begin to cover the social, musical, and lyrical heights this man has reached over his lifetime.

Arrows at The Crepe Place
Making an appearance for the second time in as many months on our weekly show list are local rising stars Arrows. Lately, they’ve been living up to their “cut from a different cloth” mantra by tearing up local venues with their weirdly exciting yet soothing live twist on the Joy Divison/Pixies-era indie noise, and building up quite the local following in the meantime. Join the movement, or, at least, come out and support some local music
Tickets $8
