>>> The Sonics return

Why the fuck shouldn't the Sonics, Tacoma's own fathers of garage rock, finally play that long (loooooong) awaited South Sound comeback show? Far crazier things have happened, after all.

The band will do just that - on New Year's Eve, no less - at the historic Capitol Theater in Olympia. - Matt Driscoll

>>> Atomic Outlaws

You need the Atomic Outlaws - a band seemingly designed specifically to accompany the moment when rock 'n' roll and your c*** become acquainted. - Rev. Adam McKinney

>>> Record digging in Tacoma

"I think Tacoma is a pretty good place to be a collector," says Todd Sykes, local producer/emcee and one third of the group City Hall. "For the size of the city that it is I don't think there are a lot of people digging for records."

>>> Eliot Lipp

Known for his unique take on hip-hop and house, Eliot Lipp has paid dues in underground scenes in almost every primary market in the U.S., Europe and Asia, and has released albums on multiple cutting edge labels. - Zach Powers

PLUS: Molly Hamilton, Corpus Callosum, Death First
