MUSIC PICKS: SEACATS, C.L.A.W.S., Cat Fancy! and Helltrout reunion

SEACATS >>> Thursday, Aug. 12 Tacoma has a problem developing bands like SEACATS. It seems like if you want power pop you have to leave Tacoma, and probably even pass by Seattle. You have to hit Kelso. Or Bellingham. Or one of many other Washington towns that's unselfconscious enough to nurture a
