We heard Jerry Zeigler exclaim, as he pounded the drums with all his might, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
Somebody put a Santa hat on Olympia drummer Jerry Zeigler, cause no other mutherfucker out there besides St. Nick himself would rage Christmas Eve and Day to bring joy to all the anxious boys and girls.
Tuesday, Christmas Eve, Zeigler will be playing with his space/classic/punk rock band Mosquito Hawk, whose lead singer, Olivia Love, has been known to bust into lounge-singing and share her favorite Christmas songs. This show will be in Le Voyeur's swanky little back room, which is always festive. And it's free, so you can save that cash to gift yourself, perhaps with a nice cocktail while you enjoy the rock.
And Wednesday, Christmas Day, Zeigler will be playing his annual Merry Fitz-mas show at McCoy's with Fitz of Depression raging two sets. Never seen Fitz play? Well, expect to get ripped a new one. The band seriously tears into the nether-regions and squiggle their reverb around, getting all deep and fast and punk rock. Also, this is a good time to see Zeigler turn into a full-fledged octopus on the drums. Enjoy.
Oh, a fond farewell to the five-year tradition of Swampy Draws playing a Christmas show at the Top of Tacoma Bar and Cafe. A quote from Swampy Draws on their Facebook: "We had a good 5-year run and I'm forever thankful for the fine folks at the Top of Tacoma who let me make an ass of myself year after year!"
What other Christmas rock should we know about? Comment below.
