Hell's Kitchen Tacoma - Downtown. Witchburn, Mahnhammer, Mom's Rocket, Plaster. 9 pm.
- "Bible stories, witches and whiskey." Admit it. You're a bit curious now. Well that is just a sampling of the influences of Witchburn. Some might attend the show for the eye-candy of the women on the stage, some might prefer the heavy Southern guitar riffs, and some might just like a heavier brand of rock. One thing is for sure: the music of Witchburn is an enchanting combination of all three. Just in case the audience isn't convinced of the unconventional nature of this rock and roll brigade, an electric violin is thrown in for legitimate artistic measure. Be prepared for passionate metal delivered with gritty energy and confident musical ability when Witchburn sets Hell's Kitchen aflame. - Weekly Volcano
HG Bistro Puyallup. Ed Taylor. 8 pm.
Jazzbones Tacoma - Sixth Avenue. Murder By Death, Tumbledown, Xylophones. 6 pm. $10-$13.
- Tonight, Bloomington, Indiana's Murder By Death will take the Jazzbones' stage, dispensing multi-faceted indie rock to the masses and proving to the old fogies out there that there's more to the name than the 1976 Robert Moore film. Led by guitarist Adam Turla, over the course of a 10-plus year career (the band originally went by the name Little Joe Gould) Murder By Death has made a name on brainy, well-written alt-country tinged tunes that rely on storytelling and keen musicianship, not to mention the electric cello styling of founding member Sarah Balliet. This show should be memorable for plenty of reasons. - Matt Driscoll
Mandolin Cafe Tacoma - Central. Tim Fast, David Ramirez, KC Brakes. All Ages. 6 pm. $5 cover.
The New Frontier Lounge Tacoma - Dome District. Sources In Code, Shrouded In Veils, Hands Of Toil. 9 pm.
- It's OK for me to call Shrouded in Veils a progressive rock band, right? I can never quite place my finger on the line between math-rock and its proggy predecessor. I somehow think Shrouded in Veils won't get in a huff about the semantics of sub-genres and the sometimes unfair connotations that go along with them. At any rate, here are the qualities that Shrouded in Veils possess: breathless instrumental prowess and a sincere desire to take you a mind-bending-or-otherwise journey and spit you back out on the other side, slightly frazzled and dizzy from exposure the chopping guitars and guttural bass lines. It's bracing stuff that occasionally threatens to veer into chaos, but always corrects itself before gliding safely into the home stretch. - Rev. Adam McKinney
