There are definitely things you can do to stay sane through these cold, dark months—eat handfuls of vitamin D, go tanning, get a “happy” lightbulb. Another thing that will warm you right up is Dancer and Prancer—Seattle’s premier (and only) holiday-themed surf rock band. I mean, what else can so perfectly trick your brain into thinking that it’s time to grab a towel and hit the beach than instrumental versions of classics like “Frosty the Snowman” and “Jingle Bell Rock” with a Southern California surf twang? It’s like Dick Dale and the Beach Boys out Christmas caroling with Bing Crosby. Total happy holidaycore. (Funhouse, 206 Fifth Ave N, 374-8400, 9:30 pm, $6, 21+)
