rived just in time. The DJs have the next killer song queued up and are ready to spin a soundtrack for the rest of your endless Chico summer. There are now enough vinyl DJs in town for fans of collector-curated sets to have choices, with multiple venues and a wide range of selectors on the scene. Below is a handy guide to what’s currently spinning around town. If you’re hauling the steel wheels around and we’re missing your gigs, let this arts columnist (jasonc@newsreview.com) and the CN&R’s friendly calendar editor, neesa sonoquie (cnrcalendar@newsreview.com), know and we’ll get into your groove.
dJ Byrdie: The freshest events on the local scene are the various badass parties curated by Mindy Curtian— Throwback Thursdays, soulMotion, Low & slow, Rocksteady social Club, etc. As DJ Byrdie, her jam is soul, oldies and vintage reggae (ska, rocksteady, etc.), and for her theme nights she brings in DJs of all stripes—Esco Chris (reggae/ska), King Tommy (punk, reggae), plus all kinds of out-of-town visitors—and works with live bands and local promoters (including outpatient Records) as well to put on shows all over town (argus Bar + Grill, duffy’s Tavern and Bill’s Towne Lounge). Next up: Throwback Thursdays continue every week at 8 p.m. at Bill’s (with SoulMotion nights owning the firstDJ Byrdie Thursday slot in the series). And on phoTo by Tommy GhIorSo Aug. 24 at Bill’s, it’s a Bay Area version of Low & Slow, with abrilita and sultana joining Byrdie for the night. outpatient Records pop-ups: When local vinyl purveyor Matthew Garcia (see “Selector’s Choice,” page 35) sets up one of his regular pop-ups—every other month at naked Lounge and the occasional rock show at Argus Bar + Patio—he not only spins his own jazz and Latin-funk faves, he also invites local guests (both beginner and pro) to take a turn at the tables and play whatever they please. Next up: tonight (Aug. 15, 9 p.m.) at Argus (with local band The False Face society) and the August Naked Lounge Pop-Up shop this Saturday (Aug. 17, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.). dance nights at duffy’s Tavern: Weekends in Chico start Wednesday, at 10 p.m. The weekly dJ dance night at Duffy’s might be the longest-running dance party in town, with a four-woman roster of rotating DJs—amburgers (cohost of KZFR’s Funky Reservation), dJ amee, dJ Lois and dJ selecta Tali 1—playing
