Hot Ticket

Eek-A-Mouse, who plays tonight at the Coach House, is not only an imposing reggae star--the 6-foot-6 singer and deejay has no trouble commanding a stage--but he’s also a walking sound-effects machine. His frequently comical performances are laced with his signature trilled “bing-bong-

biddley-bing-boms” and high-pitched “ai-yi-yis”--all used to get fans on their feet and moving to his pulsating reggae rhythms.

* Coach House, 33157 Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano. 8 p.m. With Mass Confusion and the Upbeat. $17.50-$19.50. (949) 496-8930.
