WEEKLY VOLCANO: Music in the South Sound tonight >>>

There's a reason Girl Trouble has been making music in Tacoma for the last 57 years - give or take a few. It's because the band personifies Tacoma - and, plus, the music is just seriously solid. It has been since the beginning - way back in the days of the Model T. Check out Girl Trouble's Christmas show tonight at The New Frontier Lounge.

Battersea is a band full of people who love English post-punk, and it comes through in their songwriting. There is a balance of driving guitar strums and melodic vocals to be struck in that kind of music, and they execute well. Tonight, Battersea will open up for Motopony at Jazzbones in Tacoma.
