"Indie-rock-sappy"?? Give me a break. Yes, some indie is sappy -- and there's even the twee subgenre of indie that specializes in sappiness, or at least self-conscious fragility -- but it is not inherently so. See, e.g., Sonic Youth, Pavement, Fastbacks, or locally the Nightgowns, or for that matter some of the opening bands at the show you're recommending.

Tornado,

I think you read too much into what I was saying.

We thank you for your readership!

Thanks, Rev. Given that Tacoma's louder-is-better bias (I have nothing against loud, but we need some variety other than the Mighty Wind set at the Antique and the Mandolin), you can see why it's a sensitive subject. Not that I'm complaining that Hells Kitchen was hosting the rare non-metal show.

Tornado,

I get what you're saying. I'm always on the lookout for variety in our little community, and I certainly am not of the opinion that louder is better. I think that's why I enjoy the music of the Legend of Bigfoot. It strikes a very satisfying balance between heavy metal (of which I am generally not a fan) and indie rock (which I would say I usually stray toward).

But you're right that it's never a bad thing to hope for better things in a local music scsne, and I am confident that Tacoma can rise to those expectations.

--Rev.
