MUSIC GOODNESS IN STORE IN PRINT & ONLINE >>>

Here at the Weekly Volcano, the saying really doesn't apply. Thursday IS NOT the new Friday. It's just Thursday - as it's always been. Which, by the way, is rad as hell since Thursday just happens to be the day new issues of the Weekly Volcano hit the street.

Here's a sneak peek at the musical goodness in store in print and online.

SANTEE

Some bands seem to hit from the word go. It seems from the moment Santee sleepily, casually emerged on the scene, there has been an uncommon level of excitement for what was originally just an acoustic two-piece. Now a full band, Santee is running on all cylinders and continually exceeding expectations. - Rev. Adam McKinney

THE PEABODY WALDORF IS MOVING

Over the weekend, I heard talk that the Peabody Waldorf Gallery - which has been steadily making its mark as one of the best venues in town - was closing. I immediately contacted the Peabody's P. Eric Waldmann to see what was up.

The Peadbody Waldorf is not closing down, Waldmann assures me.

"It looks like we're moving spaces again as part of a partnership with a better landlord and a better space," he says. - Rev. AM

CHIEF

Saturday, Centralia and The Hub Bar and Grill pull out all the stops to raise money for a beloved Northwest icon, the Yard Bird - leftover from that home improvement chain of yesteryear. A benefit show to help restore the huge, ugly-yet-endearing black bird (still standing at the former corporate flagship location of Yard Birds in Chehalis - having endured 40 years of weather and having garnered more than 5,000 friends on Facebook) will go down with Olympia heavyweights Chief, and Centralia bands Big Chunk and Rock City Refugees. - Nikki Talotta
