Chain and the Gang, Basemint, Night Beats

It took nearly an hour and a half after the planned start time for a band to actually take the stage. I'm not ready to say that this was an entirely bad thing. In that empty hour and a half, the above average-sized crowd had ample time to get

The little mural that could

I don't believe it. Someone in Tacoma is selling art. A lot of it. And spray paint. A lot of it. Don't sleep on Gallery 38 Art Supply on 38th Avenue. I hope someone has a fit. Because Gallery 38 is a graffiti joint. And they're selling art. I don't believe it.

As a recent college graduate, I spend most of summer days racking my brain for exciting post-grad life plans. You know, intellectually stimulating but badass; somewhat financially sound, but totally spontaneous; completely unique and fulfilling. Like maybe recording a solo album in a solar-powered van in the California wilderness? Something

The results of pop experimentation

Pop music is a huge, absurd tent that holds within it many bullshit subgenres. Kraut rock? I guess. Slowcore? Er, Glo-fi? Go fuck yourself. The very idea, at this point, of experimenting with pop music is almost laughable. When experimenting with pop music you'd better be careful, lest your experiment be

SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA: Two five three

I usually hate homemade hip-hop videos about how much some unknown rapper loves where he or she comes from. But I got an e-mail the other day from someone who appreciated just such a video. So I watched "253" by local emcee Fice. The video is a testament to the beauty

The hippy-hippy shake

A dozen beautiful women in colorful, flesh-baring harem costumes swayed and undulated as the appreciative crowd cheered them in Turkish and Arabic. The air was filled with trills of ululation. One richly tattooed woman danced in bare feet on stemmed water glasses. Other beauties swirled around each other gracefully while

NON-STOP HIP-HOP: Moka Only and hip-hop radio

Canadian wonder-MC, Moka Only (aka Ron Contour), has been doing his thing as a rhyme-sayer and microphone master for more than a decade strong. And I mean strong - like army strong. The veteran of the rap circuit has found his way into the hearts and ears of the toughest

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. Do you ever get flashbacks? Bobble Tiki does. Sometimes, completely out of the blue, Bobble Tiki's mind will be transported from his

These days, when Spencer Kelley talks, I listen. Kelley is the frontman of Basemint, a T-town indie rock throwback with all the right moves - and quite possibly my favorite thing going in Tacoma these days. Yes, better than the "scrap metal collectors" that try to make off with my lawnmower

WEDNESDAY READING: More hi-jinx on the road with The Cult

I had talked to maybe two strippers in my first 31 years of life. In Washington State, no alcohol is allowed on the premises of ANY establishment where there is nudity - until recently, not even in a movie theater. I'm, by nature, a pretty hands-on person. Also - in

You know the saying, "sometimes you just have to look under your nose to discover what you are truly looking for?" I embellish because I can't recall exactly how it goes, and I have no inclination to look it up, but it rings true. You get the gist. In my pursuit
