MUSICAL GOODNESS IN STORE IN PRINT & ONLINE >>>

Just because this blog post is late, coming on Friday instead of Thursday, doesn't mean we also screwed up and forgot to put together a Weekly Volcano music section this week. We'd never do that. Sure, we'll procrastinate with blog posts, but the Volcano music section is serious business.

Here's a look at the music goodness in store for you in print & online ...

LOUIE G'S ALL-AGES MUSIC VENUE

Seeing as Louie G's Pizzeria opened a mere four years ago, in 2007, it could be said that it's still finding itself as a restaurant. What seems abundantly clear, however, is that the space is certainly still finding itself as our newest all-ages music venue. - Rev. Adam McKinney

GAZMO THE GR8

So, without further delay I present to ya'll Gazmo's iBeast. This is a pretty high-caliber mixtape. Notable guest verses come from Andy Milonakis (yeah, that one), HighFii Kiddo (Cali) and Joe Moses (LA), with notable production coming from 18th Letter and T-Huztle (both out of Memphis), Kid Gaff and J-Listed (Out of L.A.). What all of this shows me is Gazmo has a national grind right now. ... - Josh Rizeberg

BABY GRAMPS

Baby Gramps looks just like he sounds. His appearance is a more or less spot-on indication of the noises that soon follow when he picks up an old gee-tar and starts a-singing. A long, scraggly white beard, some spectacles, a low-brimmed hat, and when he opens his mouth, the strangest sounds fall out. - Rev AM

OLY ARTS WALK MUSIC

"Music is a big part of the vitality of Arts Walk," says Stephanie Johnson, City of Olympia Arts and Events Program Manager. "Music has a great ability to pair with visual arts and complete the overall experience." Olympia loves to musically participate in Arts Walk.  Every downtown venue has a lineup this weekend, like The Hard Way with Glass Elevator and Fight for Change at Le Voyeur Friday, and The Blackberry Bushes, The Tilted Stilts and The Oly Mountain Boys at The Eastside Club Saturday. Also on Saturday, Northern (all ages) welcomes Eleanor Murray, Camp Wisdom, Bob Schwenkler and Sunshine & Irony. ... - Nikki Talotta
