5 Things To Do Today: Foam Fest, Full Moon Radio, DJ Switch, Rhythm of Cruelty and more ...

SUNDAY, MAY 25 2014 >>>

1. Picture your perfect Sunday night: the drinks are flowing, the tunes are cranking and you and your friends are dancing it up, having a grand old time. Now picture that evening exactly the same except you are covered in foam. We are not talking about the type of foam that resembles squishy Nerf balls; this is foam that is caused by soap. Soapy foam! Jazzbones hosts Foam Fest 8 at 8 p.m., promising to be more foaming than Foam Fest 3. DJ Pedro will be spinning, which is nice. Beach attire is strongly encouraged. 

2. Comedian Mike Merryfield will records his Irrelevant Radio podcast live at 8 p.m. in the Tacoma Comedy Club. Expect part talk show, part stand up comedy.

3. Full Moon Radio rock out with sweet and sassy vocals, powerful instrumental, and pure indie rock vibe. Catch the Olympia quartet with The Falsies at 9 p.m. in The Brotherhood Lounge.

4. The truth is, not everyone in town has made a mass exodus this Memorial Day Weekend, and not every painted blue fan will be at the Gorge for Sasquatch! Facts are facts. And it's not as sad as it seems. You see, for those smart enough to be sticking around, The Swiss dropped a last minute bombshell that will totally make hanging around town worth it. The downtown Tacoma hangout will host DJ Switch tonight at 9 p.m. so switch up your plans.

5. A cracking drum machine provides the aggressive backbone of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, post-punkers Rhythm of Cruelty. That relentless beat is what propels these nervy tunes, accompanied by the reverb-engulfed vocals of bassist Brandi Strauss and the sharp guitar attack of Ian Rowley. Things are decidedly moody for Rhythm of Cruelty, but their self-assigned goth label is a little misleading. Sorrow isn't on the table for this band; rather, anger and twitchy outbursts are more their style. Catch the band with Criminal Code at 9:30 p.m. in Half Pint Pizza Pub.
