In case you haven’t heard, Seattle post-grunge outfit Green Apple Quick Step is back in action, ready to rock only their second show in about a dozen years Friday night at Tacoma’s Hell’s Kitchen. “Dirty Water” – a cut that earned the band props from none other than “Beavis and Butthead” back in the ‘90s – will definitely be on tonight’s set list.

So I finally got around to shooting some footage at the New Hell’s Kitchen. On a rare reggae night, no less.

“Bottom line is a coupe of badass shows in mid-January that we have to be open for,” he said. Those shows: Rorschach Test on Jan. 16 and Guttermouth on Jan. 22. Check out the venue’s site here.

In case you haven’t heard, Sixth Avenue’s loudest, most-black-t-shirt-wearenest venue is headed downtown where it will reopen next month. Meanwhile, who better to close the old joint down in style than the rockin’ chicas of Hell’s Belles?

Tacoma’s Revengers are about to unleash their dynamic, new “Scraps on the Badlands” album with a CD release party Saturday night (Nov. 21) at Hell’s Kitchen, and last weekend I caught up with those guys at their Sixth Ave practice space to talk about it.
Here are a few clips from our interview, practice and proof they can hack it as a tribute band if the whole Revengers thing doesn’t work out.
