Here we have a monster of a show. Calvin Johnson, godfather of Olympia music, will be bringing his Hive Dwellers to the Den. Joining him will be local favorites Basemint and Friskey. I don't feel like I need to tell you any more about this show, because the quality is obvious - but I will anyway (because that's what they pay me for). At play will be a genuinely whacked take on garage-pop from three originals. Calvin Johnson, of course, dominates his songs with a signature droning drawl and oddball lyrics. Basemint, reverent of the music of the '60s, bring a high energy to live performances. Tacoma mainstay Kyle Brunette's band, Friskey, specializes in freaky, deceptively bubblegum pop music. But you already knew all of this, didn't you? And you will be at this show.
[The Den @ urbanXchange, with Friskey, Calvin Johnson and the Hive Dwellers, 8 p.m., all ages, $5, 1932 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.572.2280]
