Indie rock for Haiti

Back in August the Weekly Volcano helped introduce you to The Color of East - a self described "psychedelic-garage-pop power trio" made up of Vinny Beatty and Eric Crozier, the formidable former rhythm section of Never Quiet Never Still, and new-to-the-scene frontman Patrick Smyth, a leader equally capable of channeling

BITE US: Dim sum class, Mama's Kicthen

DIM SUM IN OLYMPIA Chinese brunch may be the best brunch of all, at least that's what goes through my mind every time I visit Kirin Seafood Restaurant in downtown Vancouver, B.C. Hell, there's at least 25 dim sum joints up there - all with carts full of baskets and

Saturday, Jan. 30: Ira Glass

Sure, the title seems a bit redundant. Ira Glass: Radio Stories and Other Stories. Seems like one too many "stories," no? But it's not. Ira Glass, you see - host and producer of the monumental This American Life radio program - is all about the stories. Whether you consider him a journalist,

Sunday, Jan. 31: Wheelies

Wheelies write pop songs, to be sure, but they're just a little mixed up - a little upside-down or inside-out, sounding as if they were recorded on the wrong end of an intercom. Or maybe sounding worn and yellowed like a long-lost mix-tape. The hooks are jagged and nervy

I didn't have to go back there. I never wanted to. There's never been a reason until now, so I did. For you I make this sacrifice.   As I have said before, most visit a grocery store because of its proximity to home or work. I am no different. Back

Tuesday, Feb. 2: Funkyjahpunkys

The FunkyJahPunkys are an absolute mystery to me. They utilize a dizzying combination of reggae, punk, hip-hop and funk. The outfit is a quartet of Red Hot Chili Pepper acolytes, taking the funk-metal notion to its logical next one or two steps. Their songs vacillate between pummeling riffs and

Trip the Light Fantastic is back - after taking some time off - but the band's return was far from a given. "It got to the point where we didn't even talk to one another, just showed up at the gig," says Trip the Light guitarist Tyler Pratt. "It

Sunday, Jan. 31: The November Witch

You might see members of The November Witch wearing capes or costumes or maybe some plaid pants or Mexican mariachi vests, but their hair is always down and their volume is always up. Back together after a restful hiatus, The November Witch will be at The Brotherhood Sunday, paddling

446th Airlift Wing Annual Awards winners

The Oscars were a ratings success this year, but the airmen of the 446th Airlift Wing on McChord Field far preferred their own annual awards banquet, which was hosted by the 446th commander, Col. Bruce Bowers. The event, which was held March 8 at the Museum of Flight, boasted a number
