Gold Teeth is Tacoma

MATT DRISCOLL: TRASHCAN'S BAND AT THE TOP >>>

Gold Teeth Tacoma is a rock and roll type of town. There’s dirt under these fingernails and grease on these jeans. There’s a warm can of Rainer rolling around this back seat. There’s a love of things real and rock that’s obvious to all interested enough to observe.

For those who’ve observed, hopefully you’re familiar with Gold Teeth â€" quite possibly the most rock and roll band in Tacoma. If you’re not familiar with Gold Teeth â€" which might have something to do with the fact the band plays only a handful of shows a year â€" you probably are familiar with some of the quintessential bands from Tacoma’s past that have helped spawn Gold Teeth â€" which brazenly claims former members of the Plastards, Argonaut, The Mexican Blackbirds, Nomovingparts and Bonzort.

Tonight, Gold Teeth along with Blanco Bronco and the Coloffs will rock the fuck out of the Top of Tacoma Bar & Cafe. If ever there was a truly rock and roll show â€" a gig that truly represents the beefy, beer and grease pumping heart of T-town â€" this just may be it.
