LIVE MUSIC IS WHERE IT'S AT >>>

The Den @ urbanXchnage Tacoma - Downtown. "The Night of the Living Loop" featuring Hunting Hat, Psychic Handbook, Via, Last Eyes. 7 pm.

• This show, featuring Hunting Hat, Psychic Handbook, Via and Last Eyes is being advertised as "The Night of the Living Loop." Not entirely sure what that means. I'm hoping it indicates that these bands utilize the loop pedal, which I think is one of the more delightful gadgets to see performed live. Listening to Hunting Hat's homespun recordings, I could picture the swirling lo-fi hums and whispers being generated by such a device. Seeing Hunting Hat live ought to be odd, considering their recordings evoke the feeling of a found radio station, lost to time, discovered after midnight on a long drive out of town. Voices drift in and out through tin-can telephones, and you're left with a strangely distant memory of having heard a song, somewhere, sometime. - Rev. Adam McKinney
