SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 2011 >>>

1. Tonight's bill at Hell's Kitchen - intended to celebrate nine years of the quintessential Tacoma rock venue - is one that also represents the musical DNA that has always been in Tacoma and is epitomized by what Hell's Kitchen is all about. Catch Zeke, the Lemons, Poppa Wheelie and Mahnhammer.

2. Tonight Tacoma Symphony Orchestra offers up its 2010-2011 season finale, featuring pianist Aviram Reichert and a Russian theme, including works by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Rimsky-Korsakov.

3. Perry Acker, the recent winning band of Ford's "Give me the Gig" contest, will be at Jazzbones tonight - doing what they do best. If that doesn't float your musical boat, find the Volcano's extensive live local music listings here.

4. Like history? Like homes? Like Tacoma? Well, the, friends, the Historic Homes of Tacoma Tour may be just what you're looking for.

5. Vote for the South Sound's sexiest folks here. It's all part of the Volcano's 2011 Sexy Issue, coming in early June.
