Bookers are the unsung heroes of the music scene. Mostly because they can also be villains, hastily putting together lame shows, or even outright preying on younger, inexperienced musicians. I haven't met the man, but if you judge a cat by the shows he puts together Adam Noble Bass is definitely an asset to Seattle's heavy music community.

Tonight's show is in his honor, and it is even more exceptional than normal. We will be treated to sets from the likes of Black Elk, Akimbo, Dog Shredder, and rarest of all, The Ruby Doe. Aside from Dog Shredder, these are all bands that have been together for a decade or more, and while they could coast on 20-somethings nostalgic for their high-school days, all these acts prefer to rock more viciously with age.

Bring something to stuff in your ears and expect to get knocked around. If you've never heard any of these bands before, buy a ticket and have your mind fucking blown apart.
