OK, OK - I know. Technically the Coloffs aren't 100 percent from Tacoma - the members are spread all over these days, from the U-District to Covington to SeaTac and so on.
But the Coloffs are a Tacoma band. Trust me. You can hear it. Co-creators Brian Coloff and the only recently departed Stu Miller both have Grit City under their fingernails. Coloff and Miller created the Coloffs coming out of their former bands, the Valentine Killers and Midnight Thunder Express, and individually Coloff was also part of the Rhino Humpers. Miller, well, he's Chris Trashcan's brother - not that he'd put it on his resume. Even though Miller left the band three months ago for school, his large impression can surely still be felt.
In addition to unleashing two new members of the Coloffs on the crowd at The New Frontier Lounge Friday night, new rhythm guitarist Doug Horn and drummer Ken Russell - who Newsome calls a "show-off," in a good way - the Coloffs also plan to record and release a new five song EP within the next few months. Consider it just one more Tacoma touched record you'll soon want to own.
[The New Frontier Lounge, Friday, Feb. 5, with The Dignitaries, South Sound Bureau Chiefs, 9 p.m., $5, 301 E. 25th St., Tacoma, 253.572.4020]
