1. Get your groove on tonight in Parkland. DJ Adam Ant spins during "Twisted Tuesday" at Lady Luck Cowgirl Up, offering Top 40 action and karaoke. The good times start at 9 p.m. Or, if you're looking for something more, peruse the Volcano's extensive live local music listings here.

2. Tacoma's Backstage Bar & Grill has stormed onto the scene - quickly becoming this town's go-to location for nostalgic drunken fun and devil horns. Tonight witness the awesomeness of a "DJ & Drummer Duo Battle," featuring DJ Switch and Chris Dahl. Magic starts at 9:30 p.m.

3. Looking for a good all-ages comedy open mic? Look no further than Tuesdays at Northern Pacific Coffee Co., where each week Jennifae hosts just that. Sign-ups kick off at 7:29 p.m. and the laughs stretch from 8 - 11 p.m. The hype promises, "some of Tacoma's finest and also littered with some novice acts."

4. Speaking of laughs, and venturing down to Olympia, the Royal Lounge offers a Comedy Lounge night every Tuesday, featuring an open-mic from 9-9:30 p.m. and headlining comics from 9:30 - 11 p.m.

5. It's "Trivia Night" at the Mix in downtown Tacoma.
