Seaweed reunites for Bumbershoot

Funny for a cause

Typically, Bobble Tiki writes about music and booze. The Weekly Volcano already has plenty of fashion, theatre, art, and useless personal interest (see: Matt Driscoll) writers, so this leaves the tunes and the bottle for Bobble Tiki to babble about. And on that note, the Weekly Volcano also has plenty

The Elephants

The Elephants are quite possibly my favorite local band. It’s really hard for me to say that since there are so many that are close to my heart, but even though I ripped their CD to mp3 about a year ago, when my iPod is on shuffle I never skip

They Kill Horses Don\'t They? and others

Friday, Aug. 31 INDIE FOLK adam sweeney What is indie folk? Isn’t folk just folk? Well, I don’t know either, but that’s where Adam Sweeney has categorized himself. Listing such obscure neo-traditional folk minstrels as Dave Carter and Josh Ritter as major influences, Sweeney is one of a handful of young artists

Girl In A Coma

Every once is a while a band comes along that is hard to describe without adding three or four exclamation marks at the end of each sentence. When I started to write this story about Girl in a Coma, I had to physically restrain myself by duct taping the upper

You have to fit in to get in

Team Unicorn Records is not your typical indie record label. They don’t have a CEO, an office or even an official telephone number. It’s more of a collective of Tacoma bands and a tight knit community than a record label in the traditional sense. The bands of Team Unicorn are

Manhattan Blowouts

Hairstylist Denise Francis finessed a couple of Manhattan Blowouts at the Biella Launch Thursday night: one set of the curls graced the head of spa owner and operator Ruth Soukup, while the other frolicked atop the head of Women of the Military Makeover winner, Jennifer Nagle, whose husband, newly home

Big gulps

Size matters in certain South Sound watering holes, and only your intrepid Weekly Volcano reporter is seaworthy enough to take on the largest drinks in town. Risking Katrina-level disaster to liver and kidneys, I set out to assess the taste and volume of concoctions designed to incite parties this Labor

Preparing for Maui

Toys for tots, Maui style Put the significant one, our daughter, and me into a three bedroom condo on Ka’anapali beach with two other couples and a 1-year-old, and you have the Hawaiian vacation I’m about to embark upon. It’s going to be fun, I have no doubt, though I’m a little

Rave

I remember when I was a little girl I would laugh at all of the older men who wore suspenders. I thought they were big dorks, these long belts that cross the back over your shoulders to keep your pants up, only they were giving you wedgies. Now I am one

Elk, rodeo and more

THE ELK Rut Weekend My 7-year-old nephew, Lloyd learned how to make cow and bull calls in an elk bugling club at a Cheyenne elementary school. “At my house, I have to go outside because my brother gets mad. I say, ‘Oh, well,”‘ Lloyd told me over the phone. If there’s one thing that
