Old Age's heartfelt rock

My first exposure to Old Age took me by surprise. The opening, titular track of their latest release, Rain Won't Ever Come, begins with a ragged lead vocal surrounded on all sides by boozy oohs and la las. The track is slightly reminiscent of the Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down,"

10th Annual Olympia Hempfest

"No stress, only action." These words rang strong and true as Olympia Hempfest and Tacoma Cannabis Farmers Market founder Jeremy Miller and I chatted about political activism around marijuana. The comment he made was in regard to the city of Tacoma's recent decision to shut down his (and any other) market in

The lax Romana: Veni, vici Julius Casear

In November 1864, an all-star, benefit performance of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar went up in the Winter Garden Theatre in New York. That one-night show raised funds for a statue of the Bard in Central Park, which stands to this day. Five months later, one of those famous actors snuck into

Friday, July 26: Bandolier

Pop aficianados Bandolier boast enough bubbly orange sunshine in their sound to propel their motor scooters sans power. A blend of dancey keyboards with the pop vocal layering of traditional songwriting from the 1960s - well, yeah, that's pretty much the story here. Pop as pop can be songcraft, a

Monday, July 29: Mothrider

It's gotta be said: when it comes to bringing some much-needed stage presence to the act of being a performing DJ, Mothrider is about as compelling as they come. Perpetually hidden beneath a sort of black and white super-villain mask (or maybe the kind of face that would've been super-saturated

Thursday, Aug. 1: Stripmall Architecture

Drawing inspiration from early electronica as well as gauzy '90s darlings like Mazzy Star, Stripmall Architecture sound beautiful, even if they don't particularly sound like shiny happy people. But never mind. What Stripmall Architecture do, they do very well: accompanying long, tear-soaked car rides; filling dark dance floors with lonely
