The return of My Name

MATT DRISCOLL: SINCE THE RED ROOF, CENTRAL AND VICTORY CLUB ARE GONE â€" IT'S HELL'S KITCHEN TONIGHT >>>

There have been plenty of aging punk rockers in T-Town jacked up and stoked about the return of Tacoma heroes My Name to Hellâ€™s Kitchen tonight. In a town that rarely forgets its favorite sons, My Name holds a special place in a lot of peopleâ€™s early â€˜90s hearts.

And rightfully so. The band kicked ass â€" and probably still does.

Seriously. What Tacoma punk rocker worth his weight in safety pins could forget My Name records like Rocks for the Jocks in â€™96, Megacrush or Wet Hills and Big Wheels? With a cocksure swagger and a unusual mixture of influences â€" from rock styled poetics, jazz, funk â€" and of course power chord punk â€" My Name left a mark on the ears of Tacoma that wonâ€™t soon be forgotten.

Read my interview with My Name singer Abe Brennan here.
