Look for the Santa Cruz Veterans Memorial Building to be a busy venue this spring/summer, beginning this Friday with the vividly named Stinkfoot Orchestra playing live as part of the First Friday concert series at the hall. Stinkfoot is, in fact, a tribute band to that brilliant musical renegade Frank Zappa.
At the end of the month, the China Cats, Santa Cruz’s fine Grateful Dead tribute act, will perform live at the Vets Hall in what’s being billed as the first in a series of psychedelic shows to take place this year. That show happens April 28.
