The first night of February, local groups Motus and The Whags were joined by Eugune, OR, funk septet Soul Vibrator for a jammin’ night at Barboza. The Whags opened the night with some psych-funk. Soul Vibrator keyed up the audience during their set, and Motus closed the show with their signature groovy energy.
