RON SWARNER: MUSIC & ART IN WRIGHT PARK PRIMER >>>

This Aug. 15, Music & Art in Wright Park 2009, which began in 1993 as Music in the Park, returns to Tacoma â€" showcasing some of the best bands in the area, including Guns & Rossetti, Girl Trouble, Post Stardom Depression, Broken Oars, The Plastards, Pain Killers, Zeke, C.F.A., Zook, Stone Axe, Starstruck, Tarek Wegner, Tallest Tree, The Coloffs, NeutralBoy, and Mico De Noche. The Saturday outdoor concert at Wright Park will be free.

As a sponsor of Music & Art in Wright Park, the Weekly Volcano will highlight a band or two every day until the Aug. 15 show, which runs noon to 8 p.m.

Today’s Music & Art in Wright Park band I'm pushing on you is Post Stardom Depression.

While officially not a band since November 2006, Post Stardom Depression is reuniting, once again, this time for the Music & Art in Wright Park show. Jeff Angell, Kyong Kim, Brent Saunders and Josh Fant â€" together once again. It’s a return most rock fans in the 253 continue to beg for, including Donny of Zeke who asked the band to reunite for this show. The last time I remember hearing their dark, moody blues rock was at the benefit for Kim’s daughter in March 2008.

Here's a taste of the musical stylings of Post Stardom Depression:

By the way, Angell's band The Missionary Position has a new album out. If you don't want to travel to Seattle (see their MySpace page), you can hear the new songs Sept. 19 at Doyle's Public House.
