WEEKLY VOLCANO: MUSIC IN THE SOUTH SOUND TONIGHT >>>

Don't know what to do tonight? Don't worry, we have you covered.

Batrider possesses that most appealing aspect of grunge - you can hear them fighting to find the perfect pop melody, each misstep inspiring fits of feedback over waves of crashing cymbals and lurching bass. They play Le Voyeur in Olympia at 10 p.m.

The Fun Police. Is this a band of officers that inspires fun, or is it fun they police? This question and more will be answered tonight at Stonegate Pizza on South Tacoma Way.

Brooklyn Pool (pictured) will be busting out a brand-spanking new record tonight at The Den with Colonies, Organ Donor, and Phantom Fireworks at 7 p.m.

Mad Rad - the rowdy Seattle hipster electro-hip-hop group that (at one point at least) was banned from seven venues on Capitol Hill - will join Nasty Left, DJ Darwin, DJ Hanibal and the Friday the 13th Bogeyman Art Show featuring artists James Hume, Jeremy Gregory, Brook Pawlicki, James Bender, GRYM, Ann Koi, AcidTest, Laura Eklund, Matthew Scott and Ryan Loiselle at 9 p.m.

Tonight in Tacoma, as part of Art at Work Month and the seventh incarnation of the Tacoma Round - the popular grassroots series in which artists, poets and musicians share a stage - a team of nine SOTA students led by Beautiful Angle gorilla-art conspirators Lance Kagey and Tom Llewellyn will build a wall of their own.  The show begins at 7:30 p.m. inside the Warehouse in downtown Tacoma.
