MATT DRISCOLL: TACOMA'S FAVORITE INDIE BAND CHANGES NAMES >>>
All good things come to an end.
And so it is with Tacoma’s favorite indie sons, the Elephants.
But wait, before you get all emo, look for powerful intoxicants to dull the pain and start calling your therapist to discuss a new episode of suicidal urges, know this: the Elephants â€" as a band name â€" has ceased to be. But the actual band â€" made up of Cody Jones, Trevor Dickson, BJ Robertson and Kyle Brunette â€" is going stronger than ever.
They’re just called the Nightgowns now. Things change. Surely, with time, you’ll be able to adjust, Tacoma.
The music makes it easy. There’s good reason the Elephants â€" a band that originally formed in 2004 with Jason Freet (he of the Drug Purse) filling the creative space between Jones and Dickinson â€" catapulted into the ears and hearts of Tacoma’s budding indie rock scene. It’s because they’re legit â€" and very good. And they’ve maintained that goodness, even after Freet’s departure. The songs the Elephants wrote fit no niche, and the sound the band became known for â€" while staying true to a certain twee-popish, garage, electronically enhanced aesthetic â€" was constantly morphing and shape-shifting.
From this point forward, you can expect nothing but the same and more from the Nightgowns, who will take their new moniker for a spin, as well as raise money for a new album slated to be released as early as late February, this Friday at the Warehouse in Tacoma. According to Jones, the event will be like a “house party†or “private party that everyone is invited to.â€
