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

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

Theskydrops East Coast gaze-grunge duo The Sky Drops drop in on the 4th Ave Ale House after dropping their debut album, Bourgeois Beat, in August. Drop by tonight at 9 p.m. and check them out with The Third Law of Motion.

In a town like Tacoma, strikingly barren when it comes to the experimental pop music that’s become a staple in indie-chic hotspots like Portland, a band like Spectacular Optical is a breath of fresh â€" if not slightly bizarre â€" air. Read the full story here. And check them out with Eel Eater, French Dad, Best Supporting Actress, and Fuck You Safari tonight at 8 p.m. inside Bob's Java Jive.

Deborah Page will mix melodic funk, folk, and beats with hypnotic electric guitar and haunting vocals at the Vanity Fashion Boutique Christmas Bash (and grand opening) from 7-11 p.m. at 3903 Sixth Ave. in Tacoma.
