SUNDAY, JAN. 13 2013 >>>

1. Hold your head high.

2. Hammond organist Joe Doria and his veteran crew guitarist Andy Coe and drummer D'vonne Lewis - with regular guest saxophonist Skerik - cross the barriers of jazz with powerful keyboards, rhythmic drums, screaming sax and sometimes fuzz-distorted guitar. Improvisational and funky with a whole lotta swagger, the band's epic jams knock the mind into the far reaches of a 1970s version of space and the butt into an uncontrollable groove. The Seattle band drives down Marine View Drive for a stint at the "Jazz LIVE at Marine View" series Jan. 13. 5-7 p.m.

3. Mas Uda dancers of Olympia will be dancing at Great Cuisine of India in Olympia. If you haven't seen the new paint job and new carpet, it's quite lovely. And, of course, nothing beats fabulous Indian food on a January evening and a lot of hip shaking. The dancers hit the floor at 6:30 p.m.

4. Backstage Bar & Grill in Tacoma hosts Play With Fire, Far From The Genuine, Life Afterlife for an all-ages show at 7 p.m.

5. Remember back in the day when you were in your first apartment and spent a memorable Saturday night with your friends just blaring the record player and singing along to random selections from your album collection? Toss in a pitcher of PBR and extreme lighting and that is karaoke at Bob's Java Jive. Sunday through Tuesday nights has Nikki Weatherhead on the mic beginning at 9 p.m. The spunky Tacoman never seems to lake energy or a smile even if the sign up sheet is less than full.
