IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG >>>
There are many things in life to be thankful for. One of them is the Volcano's music section. Another is that you're not Tony Parker. Or Brent Barry, for that matter. Count your blessings and see what's in store for you today, in print and on the street in the latest edition of the best cage liner in town.
Built to Spill are kind of indie rock royalty. Making a name for themselves in the mid-to-late '90s, the band distinguished itself by performing high atop a rigid foundation of complex chord structures and no a small amount of jamming. They released two albums now considered classics and standards for any indie rock fan's collection, Perfect from Here On and Keep It Like a Secret. This week Doug Martsch and Built to Spill will be in Olympia playing a very worth benefit for the Friends of Mia organization.
The gradual coolifying of Amocat is about to get a serious bump on Friday when Calvin Johnson's project, the Hive Dwellers, performs. Also on the bill will be solo sets from two of the people behind two of the best bands in Tacoma: Trevor Dickson of the Nightgowns and Spencer Kelly of Basemint.
In true underground tradition, Broken Water is a band that deliberately smears the boundaries between various genres - garage, punk, shoegaze, s***gaze - and in doing so, generates something wholly unique, exciting and loud as hell.
Friday SweetKiss Momma, Midnight Salvage Co. and Guns of Nevada will be at Jazzbones - a show that's also a celebration for Darrell Fortune and the Northwest Convergence Zone podcast. Fortune recently won fifth place in the radio personality category of King 5's Best of Western Washington competition.
If you're in the mood to have a butter-voiced elder statesman of soul make sweet, sweet love to your earholes, get thee to the Emerald Queen Casino, because late-'80s/early-'90s phenom Keith Sweat is set to perform there.
Atlanta punks Carnivores revel in that kind of lo-fi rumbling that seems so ever-present now, but they bring a vinyl-collector's knowledge and fervor to it. The band has an awareness of and respect for all manner of lost treasures.
Not only did the powers behind the 27th Annual Olympia Film Festival organize one of the best such events to date, they threw in extra treats like last week's Gossip show and this Saturday's Faun Fables performance at the Capitol Theater.
