VOLCANO SCRIBES: MORE LIVE THAN YOU’LL EVER BE >>>
Air Supply
YouTube member Wakakashi says it all, commenting on Air Supply’s seminal ballad “All out of Love.†“I did not know that the chorus is sung by a man. Somehow awkward …†he writes. “Awesome song though.†For those of you fortunate enough to have forgotten the 1980s, the Emerald Queen Casino continues to resurrect blissfully-forgotten pop zombies, sending them to assault musical evolution like hell-bent cultural creationists. Oct. 10, undead super-Brit Graham Russell and Australian mate Russell Hitchcock will join the horde. God help us. Still, there’s something about those ballads.
As long as you don’t watch him sing, the androgynous Hitchcock will dig through your cynicism and encrusted emotional armor and give your soul the equivalent of a gentle baby oil backrub. Songs like “All out of Love†and “Here I Am†are pure gold. Like it or not, Air Supply is part of our cultural DNA. Go on. Check them out. If you’re not already spent, you’ll probably get laid afterward. â€" Michael Swan

Music of Northern India
My earliest memory of listening to music was the Beatles Revolver LP. George Harrison had recently traveled to India and discovered the sitar. “Love You To,†which featured both sitar and tabla, was one of his two contributions on the disc. I have loved the sound ever since. I will be loving it again Friday as the Classical Music of Northern India concert features Pandit Debi Prasad Chatterjee on sitar and Seattle musician Tor Dietrichson on tabla. â€" Tony Engelhart

The Atomic Outlaws
The Atomic Outlaws pump out straight-forward, all-American rock, done Tacoma-style. If you’re looking for a good time, head to Hell’s Kitchen this Friday for a wild night of rock, whiskey, and hell-raisin’. It’s not metal. It’s not hardcore. It’s just a good blend of typical rock and roll staples sure to get your head nodding and feet stomping. Crunchy guitars and arena rock vocals will have you hooked, whether you remember the ’80s or were only born in them. â€" Carady Madden

Helms Alee
Helms Alee, made up of musicians who’ve worked with Harkonen, These Arms Are Snakes, Roy, Lozen and Your Enemies Friends, is hitting up Bob’s Java Jive on Friday. The band’s dynamic indie-grunge is par for the course at the Java Jive. After last month’s release of Helms Alee’s full length album, Night Terror (Hydrahead), the band is gearing up for a West Coast tour with Minus the Bear, which ends in Seattle Nov. 22. You’d never expect such a big sound from a three-piece, but this band delivers, and they don’t neglect melody either. They’ll be sure to blow you away in one way or another. The show is also a fund-raiser to help pay for a new PA at Bob’s, so go support your local scene. â€" CM
