Nucleus is returning to Arcata, California for its fifth area New Years Eve performance in the past six years. The band will appear at Humboldt Brews, with Moo-Got-2 opening the night. Nucleus will show appreciation for its local fanbase by handing out a new live compilation to the first 100 folks in attendance. The group also will offer free champagne as well as a taste of the music from its forthcoming disc, which is in the queue for a spring release. The group has one east coast show prior to this date, a Christmas night gig at Beefs in Horseheads, NY (three quarters of the group grew up in the area).
