Saturday, March 22: The Heels

Friday's The Last Vestiges of Winter, organized by record-player manipulator/artist Oliver Doriss, seeks to put a little stress on that assumption by presenting three

Wednesday, March 26: The Funs

Chicago fuzz merchants the Funs bringing a chugging, lo-fi bravado to your more standard garage rock. Fittingly, given the recent passing of Gary Burger, the Fuzz at times recall the motorik drive of proto-punk weirdos the Monks (whom Burger fronted). Even with the buzzy noise that surrounds the Funs' music,

Every third Thursday El Protrero packs them in for live hip-hop, rap and DJs. That's right, El Protrero has remained a bastion for the type of hip-hop/rap that reflects the streets and attitude of Tacoma and Lakewood - among other enclaves in Pierce County. This Thursday, everybody and their momma

Valentine's Day Fun for Spouses

For some spouses, a rose for every year of marriage, a candlelight dinner, jewelry, or a night on the town may be in the works for Valentine's Day 2010.  But for thousands of spouses from Joint Base Lewis-McChord married to deployed servicemembers,  Feb. 14 may not be quite so romantic.  For
