NIKKI TALOTTA: STONE AXE ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON >>>

Rocket Records + Stone Axe = One bitchin’ way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Commit your favorite vice, call your friends, and get your butt down to Rocket Records and enjoy the classic sound of Stone Axe.

Tony Reed, former Mos Generator genius, has put together a band that anyone in his or her right mind would love. Imagine all your favorite classic rock bands rolling around naked in the mud until they emerge a mix of dirty, delightful degenerates that know how to tweak their instruments and vocals into the perfect blend of rock ‘n’ roll. Now, throw in a rad venue, opening bands Zook and the Plastards, make it all ages with no cover and you have the recipe for a kick-ass time.

[Rocket Records, with the Plastards, Zook, Sunday, July 19, 1 p.m., no cover, 3843 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, 253.756.5186]
