MATT DRISCOLL: DOUBLE SHOT >>>
sBach
Tonight, sBach â€" an interesting and multi dimensional project of Hella guitarist Spencer Seim (who also plays drums for the Advantage) â€" will hit Hell’s Kitchen in Tacoma. As far as eclectic and intriguing shows go, this performance should be one of the week’s best. A blazing combination of searing guitar work and video game style beeps and hisses, sBach is a band with few contemporaries.
[Hell’s Kitchen, These Arms Are Snakes, sBach, Helms Alee, Skull Kid, Saturday, 5 p.m., all ages, $10, 3829 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, 253.759.6003]
Rising Tides
Tonight the Seattle-based band Rising Tides â€" born from the ashes of
Jodie Hates the World and the Degrees â€" will be back in Tacoma for a
repeat performance at the Jive. If past performances are any
indication, it should be a show not to miss. Guitar built and
atmospheric, Rising Tides hashes out a sound reminiscent of ’90s alt
rock sensibilities with a twist of new school songwriting. Much like
Jodie Hates the World and the Degrees, Rising Tides has more to offer
than your typical bar rock band.
[Bob’s Java Jive, with Microtia, Conservative Dad and Sammy Swell, 8 p.m., $5, 2102 S. Tacoma Way, Tacoma, 253.475.9843]
