SEXY BIO I'm 27-years-old and have lived in the Tacoma area pretty much my entire life. I live in the Stadium District with my wonderful boyfriend, Darren, and my pup, Emma. I have been working at Jones Animal Hospital as a technician for the past six and a half years and I love

SEXY BIO A couple of years ago I quit my job, "night keeper of the moon." I recently started volunteering to look at the sun for fun. That's super exciting! I love music and dancing in my apartment, and love animals and reading horoscopes. For money I work at the best credit union Tacoma

SEXY BIO A year and a half ago, I was fortunate enough to open my very own salon, which I named The Tacoma Parlor. It's where I get my sexy on, and is built as an addition to our home on South 15th Street and Yakima. Although the commute is pretty

Tacoma's very own Jeff Matz (Zeke) joins Oakland California's High on Fire on bass for the band's fourth LP, Snakes for the Divine (E1 Entertainment). This fourth album, while staying true to the powerful stoner rock that has defined HOF's auditory onslaught since their conception in 1998, falls short of

Today I'm crashing legendary Olympia rockers C Average's band practice. After dropping my boys off at their grandpa's, I pull my toy-strewn Subaru into the driveway. A black shingled house sits in front of me. The sun is shining and it hits the paint in a nice, glossy way. Behind

It's a new week, which means it's time for a new installment of Bobble Tiki's South Sound music news and notes column. Without further ado, let's get rolling. As you may or may not have noticed, Bobble Tiki took a moderately deserved vacation last week. That's not to say he was

Western Ghost House is yet another band that straddles the middle ground between indie rock and country, enriching and expanding both. I'm hesitant to call it alt-country, which is an awfully loaded word. The band plays as if trying to replicate the sounds of people like Townes Van Zandt, but

THRONES >>> Friday, Feb. 26 My friend's band once bought a baby blue Ford conversion van that previously belonged to Thrones, a.k.a. Joe Preston. Inside was tour garbage, flat tires and a picture of Preston lounging on a saggy couch, orange ‘70s afghan thrown across his lap, a peaceful looking cat snuggled

Do you remember your first trip to Tacoma? Your impressions? The sensation in your gut? The things you saw and the way this place made you feel? Blinded by the Hilltop hysteria of the time, of course, I remember my first trip to Tacoma. There was the Aroma, naturally, and also

Film critics are, most importantly, consumer advocates: You only have so much entertainment cash, so spend it on this movie, not on that one. Theatre critics attempt to fill the same role, but we know it's only useful to a point. That's because theatre is gloriously inconsistent. What flopped opening

To Mike Squires, Zakk Wylde is a true guitar hero - as much as any living player. This was Mike's first trip to Japan, and he had only been playing in Loaded for a few months - there hadn't been an abundance of run-ins with the likes of a Zakk

The corner of South 38th and South G streets has been home to many businesses over the years; the most recent past saw a Philly sandwich shop. Signs on the windows now promise Zocalo Mexican Restaurant and Bakery will be the next inhabitant. Yes, a Mexican bakery. Will that mean pan

I drive through Hilltop Tacoma quite frequently in order to visit some of my favorite haunts like The Tempest and 1022 South, not to mention it's the only good direct route to downtown from my house, and often while heading down South 11th and crossing MLK, my eye would catch
