... AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD

Before Conrad Keely and Jason Reece moved to Texas and formed rock band ... And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, they used to hang in Olympia: Keely out at the Evergreen State College, musing over some genius project, Reece usually downtown, working at The Smithfield Café. - Nikki Talotta

FICE, DJ BERRY AND MORE LOCAL HIP HOP COVERAGE

If ya have a case of the lazies and ya not trying to venture out, then YouTube Fice's new video, "In the Kitchen," produced by Erik Soderquist. Soderquist is a hip-hop Renaissance man. He's dope at producing, MCing, directing, photography and graphic design. In other word, he's a true artist. - Josh Rizeberg

GRANT HART
Grant Hart will be at Hell's Kitchen Thursday-the former Hüsker Dü drummer, co-songwriter and just plain dude you should know about. As we said last week, it's not every week T-town gets an opportunity like this ... even though we effed up the date originally and said the show was on Wednesday. It wasn't. It's tonight. We apologize. - Volcano Staff

GILBY CLARKE

Gilby Clarke has been around the block-more than once. The guitarist has suited up for Guns N' Roses, Slash's Snakepit, Nancy Sinatra and Heart, not to mention produced albums by L.A. Guns, Bullets and Octane, The Bronx and Vains of Jenna. Basically, Clarke has seen about all there is to see in rock and roll (or, at least all there was to see in rock and roll during the decadent ‘80s and early ‘90s). - Volcano Staff

THE LUND BROS

On Friday, May 27, Enumclaw teacher Amy Erwin's life was taken by her husband. He then turned the gun on himself and took his own life, leaving behind two children, ages 13 and 7. In the stunned aftermath of this tragedy, Amy Erwin's longtime friend, Tacoma's Sean Lund, has organized a benefit show at The New Frontier Lounge scheduled for Friday. - Rev. Adam McKinney
