Cosmonauts may just be the one-millionth psychedelic garage band that I've written about in my time at the Weekly Volcano, and I tell you it's the funniest thing: Though they hail from California, they sound like they could have just as easily been born out in our fair, gritty city. Something about performing in basements and garages seems to bring the grittiness out in any band. Cosmonauts share time equally in mind-melting squalls of Doors-esque acid rock and bursts of sweet, jumpy garage pop confection. This bodes well for them as they will share bill with the thunderous Night Beats and the bratty, eclectic punk rock of Red Hex. It would be more than advisable to bring some earplugs to The New Frontier.
[The New Frontier Lounge, with Night Beats, Red Hex, 9:30 p.m., $5, 301 E. 25th St., Tacoma, 253.572.4020]
