This weekend â€" Saturday at the High Dive in Seattle and Sunday at Bumbershoot â€" marks the heroic return of one of the greatest bands in the history of Tacoma.

Seaweed!

That’s right. It’s true. Seaweed is back. If there’s been a more anticipated event in Tacoma music in the last few years, I can’t recall one. Since their demise, Seaweed has been immortalized as a South Sound dark horse, a band Tacoma can proudly hang its hat on, and a band that knew nothing but the disheveled 253 punk rock they perfected. While it’s easy to lump Seaweed in with the NW music scene of the ’90s, there’s something completely unique about the band. Seaweed is not Mudhoney. Mudhoney is from Seattle.

Seaweed is Tacoma.  Check full story here. â€" Matt Driscoll
