1. The Tacoma Cult Movie Club gets down tonight at the Acme Grub Cage. It promises to be as random, entertaining, ironic and hilarious as ever. Find details here.
2. Apparently a one-man operation, Sam Vicari's themes and vocals have a pungently nerdy air about them, imbuing his full-length, Keep Careful, with the kind of ecstatic, pop-minded, puppy-love-obsessed feeling of bands like Weezer and other late '90s radio punk. His vocals have a slightly sibilant quality that helps soften the music's sometimes jagged edges. Vicari will play Le Voyeur tonight in Olympia.
3. According to the Volcano's extensive South Sound live local music listings, Wally and the Beaves will play the Muckleshoot Casino tonight in Auburn.
4. It's the third Monday of the month. You know what that means! The Tacoma Calligraphy Guild meets tonight!
5. Check out the weekly open mic (open stage) tonight at O'Malley's, hosted by Seven's Revenge.
