MUSICAL GOODNESS COMING AT YOU IN PRINT & ONLINE >>>
It's Thursday, trash day at the Driscoll house, and the day of the week that you, Gentle Reader, are presented with a brand-spanking new issue of the Weekly Volcano.
Like every week, today's new Volcano includes the best music section you'll find in the South Sound (along with all sorts of other badass stuff).
Here's a sneak peek at the musical goodness coming at you in print and online ...
Night Beats are unf***withable road warriors, psych-rock workhorses, a meeting point between Tacoma-centricity and the great scary beyond where other local bands fear to roam. They revere psychedelia and early rock 'n' roll, and aim in some way to pay homage to those sounds, while also forging a vision of their own. ... - Rev. Adam McKinney
John Crown loves to drive, and does so for a living as a garbage truck driver in Kent. "Driving is my crutch," he says while rolling in his green 2002 Chevy Trailblazer. "I got this car in November and it had 82,000 miles on it. It's June and it has 109,000. I just drive, man."
He also likes to talk, an entertaining and opinionated Twitter chatterbox with no filter. But the Tacoma-based rapper considers some things sacred.
"I don't mean to be a dick," he says, pausing his upcoming debut full-length, Coffee & Beats. "But I hate it when people talk over my verses." ... - Joe Gustav
OLYMPIA INDEPENDENT MUSIC FEST
Olympia Independent Music Festival is designed to be just that - independent. No frills, no gimmicks. Just a group of talented unsigned bands playing for free.
OIMF was started when local prog-rock band Glass Elevator got curious about playing shows in downtown Olympia's Sylvester Park. ... - Nikki Talotta
Though their brutal, improvised maelstroms don't have much in the way of sonic equivalents' in the Seattle underground scene, WaMü could nonetheless be lumped in with a handful of other Emerald City noisemakers like Stickers and MOUNTAINSS (to say nothing of Olympia's own Malaikat dan Singa) who treat the saxophone as less an instrument of sultry-eyed, soft-rockin' seduction and more a radio for channeling the inhuman howls of self-flagellating underworld monstrosities. - Jason Baxter
Holding down the scene since 1998, Slimrock has DJ'ed any type of event you can think of -- from backyard skateboard parties to private events at the top of the space needle. Impressively, he continues to build his massive vinyl collection while not getting burned out on a culture that is quickly losing interest in having a DJ at all. While iPods and laptops are taking over for some performers, Slimrock is still out there DJ'ing for real, with no plans of stopping. He says wishes more live performers would respect the art of what he does. - Nic Leonard
