Lixxapalooza: Bringing Local Music to the Masses

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Humboldt chapter.
Every week Local Lixx brings local bands and artists to the KRFH airwaves. This Friday, the Lixx crew brings nine of them together for a night that you won’t want to miss.


The second annual Lixxapalooza, coordinated by Kobe Thompson and Jacob Stadtfeld, features the talents of Dolphin Star, Wild Lungs and Liquid Kactus. The bill also includes Triangle Eye, Mighty Redwood Ambassadors, OnHell, 2012, Family Thief and Giraffe.

For Stadtfeld, a sophomore at Humboldt State, comes from having so many talented local musicians in the same place.

“It’s going to be an awesome experience for both the audience and the Lixx crew,” he said. “No other school I know of lets its student get this hands on with show production and promotion.”

Michael Grady of Liquid Kactus had a great experience playing on Local Lixx earlier this semester and said he and his bandmates are excited to perform at Lixxapalooza.

“We are mucho stoked for Lixxapalooza,” he said. “The KBR is a rad place to jam out in! It’s going to be a fun night.”

Don’t miss Lixxapalooza this Friday night, May 4, in the Kate Buchanan Room above The Depot. The show starts at 6 p.m. Student admission is just $2!
