DOA

>>> Saturday, June 5

The South Sound has it made in the music department. This little watered-down peninsula not only generates amazing talent, but also attracts amazing talent; we get some of the best touring bands around. We are that sweet little spot between Portland and Seattle that other towns wish they could be. The fans, the rain, the obscure, bitchin' little venues - bands can't resist our Northwest flavor. This week's touring band is heavyweight punk icons DOA, stopping in Olympia to rage at The Fourth Ave Tav. DOA has been telling people to fuck off for more than 30 years. They also just released their latest album, This Machine Kills Fascists, on Sudden Death Records. - Nikki Talotta

[The Fourth Avenue Tavern, with C Average, The Fixt, M.O.D.S., 8 p.m., $10, 210 Fourth Ave. E., Olympia, 360.786.1444.]

THE ACCUSED

>>> Saturday, June 5

"This is our fourth or fifth time playing with the Accused and it's always been a blast," Jason McKibbin, frontman of infamous T-town punk band I Defy tells the Weekly Volcano's old, crusty Tacoma music afficionado, Potter, on this Web site. "It gets better every time. You won't see another show this intense." McKibbin is probably right. There's plenty of reasons why local music fans still talk about early '80s splatter rockers The Accused, and most of them simply have to do with how fucking kick-ass the band is. Usually, when old bands get back together it's just because they got lazy and found themselves in need of steady incomes to support the nutritional supplement addictions that followed coke addictions. But not The Accused. There's still fire in Tom Niemeyer's belly. You can hear it. - Matt Driscoll

[Hell's Kitchen, with I Defy, Godspit, Sargent D, South Kitsap Infidels, 9 p.m., $7, 928 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.759.6003]

PAUL LYNDE FAN CLUB

>>> Saturday, June 5

Have you ever seen Beach Blanket Bingo? It's this crazy early '60s beach party movie that features, among other ridiculous things, three actors who should have logically never shared a screen together: Buster Keaton, Don Rickles and Paul Lynde. Keaton is the biggest surprise, given he actually speaks in the film; and Rickles gets away with his appearance by being allotted one scene wherein he gets to riff and mock the entire film. Paul Lynde, however, serves the thankless function of being a stick-in-the-mud. Considering this, it's tough to say what Mr. Lynde would have thought of tongue-in-cheek alt-rock band, Paul Lynde Fan Club. Despite his fuddy-duddy onscreen persona, I think he'd love finally being in on the joke. - Rev. Adam McKinney

PEGASUS DREAM

>>> Sunday, June 6

Originally hailing from Spokane, Pegasus Dream is an exciting synth-based pop outfit coming out of Portland. Their hook-based compositions immediately recall Of Montreal's post-Satanic Panic in the Attic electronics-infused rebirth (picture the obligatory glam, bedazzled phoenix rising from the ashes).  The youthful trio - not content to simply roll out infectious, finely-mixed jams - complicates their music with wily stop-start rhythms that problematize the urge to dance as much as they provoke it. In the great tradition of electronic music's decidedly unplugged pioneers, Pegasus Dream rely on live skin-pounding from drummer Mikey Dane, who anchors their songs' ecstatic highs with a visceral (if skittering) foundation.  Less Greek Myth and more Geek Mirth, Pegasus Dream is a band to watch. - Jason Baxter

[Le Voyeur, with Golden Arm, 10 p.m., 21+, no cover, 404 Fourth Ave. E., Olympia, 360.943.5710]
