Conventional wisdom dictates that you'd rather spend Tuesday night watching PAX TV and sharing a big bowl of prune whip with your great aunt Martha than venturing out to hear a band comprised of drums, marimba, congas and found sounds. But in this case, conventional wisdom would be wrong. Unless, of course, you're a big fan of "Green Acres."

Despite the unusual instrumentation, the Brooklyn, New York, band Loop 2.4.3. employs live sampling, sound effects, and a bunch of drums for a dreamy sound. Loop 2.4.3. are so progressive that television and film snatched them up for various soundtrack projects.

Tuesday, Oct. 10, the band is at the Slavonian Hall (2306 N. 30th St., Old Town Tacoma) for a free concert as part of "Classical Tuesdays in Old Town." Give Martha a quick peck on her pruney lips and get there by 7 p.m.  For more details, call (253) 752-2135. â€" Brad Allen
