Eight Gigs: Lucid
Fri., Jan. 20, 5:30 p.m., Harlow’s Restaurant & Nightclub, $10-$12
While Chk Chk Chk presents its live electronica as dance-punk, Lucid takes a more dance-funk approach. The Sacramento five-piece doesn’t discriminate with genre influences, though: jazz, R&B, reggae, blues and rock can all be heard throughout Lucid’s self-titled debut EP, which dropped in November. It might sound weirdly incompatible on paper, but the band has found a way to unite its disparate musical loves in a unique way. With its feel-good, jam-band energy, the group would be at home at, say, High Sierra Music Festival. Locals Average League, Dawggz and SophroSine open the show. 2708 J Street, www.lucidofficial.com.
