Tacoma Rock City

Turns out that new Hotels song I alluded to yesterday is called "The Bat Watusi." I think it's pretty tight, and it got the crowd pretty worked up Friday night. But judge for yourself. Here it is.

P.S. They'll be at Bumbershoot Labor Day weekend if you wanna check the out live; 2 p.m. Sept. 5 at EMP/SFM's Sky Church.

You may not know Kris Brannon by name. But if you've been to just about any big even in Tacoma this summer chances are you've noticed him.

It's kind of hard not to, actually. Brannon is that tall guy with the afro you spotted waving his "save our Sonics" sign at Taste of Tacoma, Art on the Ave and outside the American Idols Live show. I wrote a story about his late, one-man crusade for Monday's SoundLife section. Until then, you can click on the video clip to learn about the method behind his madness.
