IT'S HAPPENING TONIGHT IN THE SOUTH SOUND >>>

MUSIC - The Abigails are fixtures in the Southern California psych-rock garage scene. Thomas has been a member of bands like the Growlers and the Grand Elegance, and fellow Abigail Kyle Mullarky has been in the Starlite Desperation - all bands that occupy a sort of LSD haze. Additionally, the Abigails are members of Burger Records, the epicenter of SoCal psych-rock. Read Rev. Adam McKinney's full feature on the Abigails in the Music & Culture section. The Abigails, The Drippers, Farewell To The Woods, Generifus, 8 p.m., all ages, Northern, 414 1/2 Legion Way, Olympia, $5

MUSIC - If you dig country music - particularly Hank, Cash, Haggard and Earle - Tacoma rockin' country mainstays The Twang Junkies mosey on into The Swiss tonight. Even if country's not your cup of Texas tea, there's still a lot to enjoy in this band made up of Tacoma music scene veterans. The quintet takes the outlaw country sound and braises it with a Stones/Bowie-esque over the campfire. The Twang Junkies, 9 p.m.,The Swiss, 1904 Jefferson Ave., Tacoma
