MUSIC IN THE SOUTH SOUND TONIGHT >>>
ROCK: Post Stardom Depression is a tight quartet that fuse rock, seedy lyrics and grease to form a fresh sound unlike anything you've ever heard. Unless, of course, you've heard them before. Singer Jeff Angell, guitarist Kyong Kim, groovin' bassist Brent Saunders and drummer Josh Fant travel from their first gig in a backyard-wrestling ring to Hell's Kitchen tonight. Discover why this is a big deal here. With Mom's Rocket, Shim, Careless Eaters, 9 p.m., $6 advance, $8 door, Hell's Kitchen, 928 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.759.6003 - Ron Swarner
BOY/GIRL: The songs of Catcher sound like that point deep in a relationship when you start to see the seams; you can feel the end drawing nearer, and begin to pull away from each other - just at the point where you need that embrace more than ever. With A Cozy Kitchen, Smile Brigade, 7 p.m., all ages, $5, The Den @ urbanXchange, 1932 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.572.2280 - Rev Adam McKinney
ROCK: Ask any true-blue Tacoman what's likely to be birthed when Dave Takata, Shawn Lanksbury, Sean Horst, Chris Roxx and Michah Hammer get together and the answer will be blatant: fucking rock. Experience the Mahnhammer tonight. With Trip the Light Fantastic, Pioneers West, Swampy Draws, 8 p.m., cover TBA, The New Frontier Lounge, 301 E. 25th St., Tacoma, 253.572.4020 - Matt Driscoll
