AROUND AND AROUND >>>

The Weekly Volcano fired up its Electric Salchow Stage Saturday night, hosting Kim Archer for a night of soul, R&B, funk and ice skating. The temperature was signficantly cooler than last Saturday's show featuring Igenous Rocks. However, the crowd was larger. In fact, this week people dropped by just to listen to the music.

Archer's performance was top-notch, even though she was freakin' freezing.

Here's the Electric Salchow Stage band schedule:

Saturday, Dec. 15: Champagne Sunday

Saturday, Dec. 22: Monday Ukulele Ohana Holiday Show

Saturday, Dec. 29: BODYBOX

Saturday, Jan. 5: Sweetkiss Momma

The bands perform two sets from 7-9 p.m. with a couple of breaks during surface repair sessions.

[Tollefson Plaza, through Jan. 6, 4-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 4-10 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, $8, $1 off active duty military and family, $2 skate rental, Pacific Avenue and South 17th Street, Tacoma, website]
