Originally from Alaska and based out of Portland now, psych-rockers Portugal. The Man signed with Atlantic Records in April of last year. In a smooth move, HSU's Associated Students have booked the band for a show in the Kate Buchanan Room on Tuesday, September 27.

Come find out why this band has over 120,000 fans on Facebook - but who's counting? What you can count on is a great, artistic performance from the talented four-peice out of Portland.

Sluggies! As you know, we here at 94.1 KSLG love us some sexy good times -- and by good times, I mean with full-spectrum access to reproductive and sexual health care. Which is why I, Jen Savage, along with John "Dr. Love" Matthews, occasional stand-in Andrew "Seven-O-Heaven" Goff and a bunch of other cool kids are kicking butt on behalf of Six Rivers Planned Parenthood. Well, actually we're kicking balls -- KICKBALL, people! Specifically, "Can I Kick It?" happening Sunday, Sept. 18 at the Arcata Community Center.

Check it here, then rock our world and do some good by making a donation. More than 90 percent of their services are preventative, including life-saving cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and contraception.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Spare Change, the teen peer educator performance troupe -- and if we can raise $1,000, then we've covered the training costs for one of those awesome youths -- who will then provide invaluable education for other Humboldt teens. As of now, we're over a third of the way there! 

Supercool, right?

Donate.

Thank you!

Bill Maher is a social, political and comic genius. He's taking a short break from his HBO program "Real Time," to perform at HSU on Saturday night, August 27 (tickets here).

On Tuesday, August 23 at 7 p.m. on KSLG Myles will talk with Maher about his old program "Politically Incorrect," his film "Religulous," why he hasn't been yanked off of HBO yet, the Tea Party, next year's Presidential election, why Sean Hannity hates him, his unlikely friendship with Ann Coulter, why the media wants him to have a rivalry with Jon Stewart, his time spent at the Playboy Mansion and much more. Streaming here.

Disturbed and Godsmack headlined the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival 2011. Shortly before annoucing an indefinite hiatus, Disturbed's John Moyer spoke with Myles on the air (podcasting here). Check out the photos from the Mountain View, CA show here (thanks to the talented Alyssa Boyd).

Hey, Sluggies! You love the beach, right? So does Humboldt Surfider. Find out what's going on locally when Surfrider Foundation's Humboldt Chapter meets at Humboldt Brews, Tuesday, Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. (Get there on time to get in on the beer!)

And then join Ocean Conservancy, Humboldt Surfrider and Humboldt Baykeeper for Ocean Night, Thursday, Aug. 4 at 6:30 p.m. at Arcata Theatre Lounge.

Movies start at 7 p.m. and include The Van Duzen Watershed Project, conceived by Sal Steinberg and Paul Trichilo in 2005. In an effort to learn more about local streams, a monitoring program was developed and a three-year project was funded to quantify water quality, salmon habitat and upslope conditions. Rounding out the night is the "Staycation Surfari Epic on Zero Dollars" surf flick Stoked and Broke. Making their own boards, bamboo rickshaws, solar cookers, and hobo stoves, surfers Ryan Burch and Cyrus Sutton set off on a 30-mile, eight-day walk through San Diego. But what begins as a guide to taking a minimalist surfing journey quickly becomes an examination of freedom vs. alienation.

See you there!

Love,

Jen Savage
