MONDAY, SEPT. 30 2013 >>>
1. Look! Over in the corner! It's some drunks! It's some trash movie buffs! It's a bunch of cheesy movies! Actually, it's all of those things. The Tacoma Cult Movie Club gathers at 7 p.m. in the Acme Grub Cage bar to watch cheesy superhero movies. As always, admission is free, popcorn is free, drinks are delicious and raffle participation is appreciated and fun.
2. It's a rainy Monday in Tacoma, but inside The New Frontier Lounge, the night is hot. Pianist Nate D., bassist Cameron and drummer Peter T. have launch the city's newest jazz jam inviting talent to sit in as the house trio explores straight ahead, funk and space. Not all gigs qualify as a hang, but this one has the precise alchemy that could draw the area's best players: a high level of musicianship, a relaxed atmosphere and a sympathetic intergenerational crowd. Ask any working jazz musician, and the hang is what it's all about. It kicks off at 8 p.m.
3. In the same way that sharks must keep swimming to keep breathing, it seems guitarist Rafael Tranquilino must fuse genres across various musical projects in order to stay afloat. His arrangements incorporate blues, funk, rock, funk, ska, metal, reggae, Latin and jazz-fusion. As accomplished as he is varied, Tranquilino can be seen every Monday night as host of Stonegate Pizza's rockin' blues, if not experimental, jam at 8 p.m.
4. O'Malley's "Mondays For The Damned" is your typical above ground underground new wave, synth pop, goth, industrial and post-punk haven, and, if you're into it, it's one of the best places to find yourself in the company of the city's goth and industrial scene. Night Shift (Nicole and Aaron) and guest DJs will spin, while Rich Sumner screens videos and movies. Get dark over $3.25 micro brew pints and a pound of wings for $5.50.
5. Want to feel like a rock star without all the pain and annoyance of having to be a fire-breathing demon that bleeds from the mouth? Then hit Jazzbones Monday nights for Rockaraoke at 9 p.m., where you can belt out songs like the Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again," Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me," Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You" and enough INXS tunes to make you feel like you're on a reality show, and other hits from the days when you made mixtapes by recording the radio, all backed by a live band. Expect a college crowd enjoying $2 PBR drafts, $3 Sinfire shots and $4 Smirnoff Flavor Vodka Bombs.
