MUSICALLY SPEAKING >>>

If you're anything like me, you spent your weekend sleeping in later than normal, moving slower than usual, and partaking in twice as many calories as usual thanks to a trip to Costco and all those damn samples. Life is so simple on the weekends.

However, now it's Monday again - which for most of us means back to the grind. It's the day of the week when I envy the unemployed most.

But there's no sense fighting it. Monday is upon us, so it's back to work. Here's a look at what the Volcano has in store this week, musically speaking...

BAND PROFILE PUSH
The Weekly Volcano's annual Music Issue is coming. If you're in a band, and have yet to sign up for a Band Profile, you only have a week left to do so to make sure you see your name in print when the Volcano's Music Issue hits the streets March 11. We'll be reminding you all week to sign up - which can be simply accomplished by going here.

EGG PLANT, THE NIGHTGOWNS, THE DRUG PURSE

The text message went out a couple weeks ago: "Friday March 5^th - Biggest Tacoma show of the year. The Nightgowns, the Drug Purse, and Egg Plant @ the New Frontier! - Team Unicorn"

The Weekly Volcano's Rev. Adam McKinney took note, and in this week's paper he'll be bringing you an exclusive interview with Egg Plant's lead singer Luke Short, a former Tacoman turned PDX indie rocker.

"I find pretty easy (in Portland) to, basically, throw a rock and hit a guitar payer, you know?" says Short about his new digs.

Find the full interview in Thursday's edition of the Weekly Volcano.

RIP THE WAREHOUSE

As you may know already, Tacoma's most revered and heralded DIY, underground music and arts venue - the Warehouse - is no more. It ceased to be late last week, thanks to landlord issues. In Thursday's paper the Volcano catches up with Adam Ydstie of the Warehouse to get the full scoop.
