Marilyn Manson and Slayer will co-headline this year's Mayhem Tour, a blood curdling pairing that will drop in on Auburn's White River Amphitheatre on July 14, according to Slayer's publicist. Click the YouTube clip to hear Kerry King and Tom Araya make the announcement.

This just went out on the mailing list for Club Impact, the all-ages rock night at downtown Tacoma's Brick City Club:

After 11 years of hosting INCREDIBLE all-ages shows in Tacoma, the legenday Club Impact will be having it's 11 Year Birthday Show/Party on Sat. April 18, and it's Final Show on Sat. April 25th. We also have shows EVERY Saturday until then so we would absolutely love to see your faces at these events.

Thank you all very much for your support! We'd love to hear back from people as to their "experiences" in the past 11 years of Club Impact so we can put together a scrapbook of sorts.

As blogged in December, New Frontier owner Neil Harris is working on opening a new bar in the space that until recently housed the Monsoon Room, at 1022 J St., in Tacoma. And New Frontier bartender Chris Langston just told me that he'll be running the joint, which he called 1022 South.
