FILM
The First 10
April 17 marks the beginning of the Grand’s 11th year. They will celebrate with a film series, of course. “The First 10” will define what makes The Grand grand â€" art and independent films that could only be found at the little film house that can. Kicking off Friday, O Brother, Where Art Thou? And Sideways will screen at 6 and 8:15 p.m., respectively, for a week before Napoleon Dynamite and Memento take over next Friday. â€" Suzy Stump
[The Grand Cinema, 6 and 8:15 p.m., $4.50-$8, 606 Fawcett Ave., Tacoma, 253.593.4474]

ROCK
Twilight Drive
The only genre that fits Twilight Drive is the all-encompassing brand of “rock.” Beyond that, it’s up to individual ears to decide. Jangly and hypnotic guitar lines permeate a soundscape as tight as it is frayed â€" creating a comforting affect much like a time tested pair of Levis. Elements of garage meet artistic meanderings, and the voice of Twilight Drive frontman Patrick Smyth skillfully carries the load. More direct than much of indiedom and more visionary than most pure rock, Twilight Drive exists somewhere in the middle, where the windows are open and the possibilities are endless. â€" Matt Driscoll
