Mark your Blackberries - we're in for a treat Tuesday at Olympia's beloved Brotherhood Lounge. RTX is coming to blow minds. To most, the band RTX means the revival of one-half of the legendary Royal Trux, a band that rode the waves of the '90s on a surfboard made of sex, drugs and all things rock 'n' roll. These days, RTX is still a familiar blistering combination of noise rock, indie hardcore, fuzzy, squealing, sexy riffs and the hot-blooded gritty vocals of front woman Jennifer Herrema ... only cooler. Having garnered rave reviews from Decibel, Vice, Village Voice and the like, RTX is dotting the coast with a Sonic Youth-y, MC5-ish sound. And it's not just the raw energy that Herrema channels on stage - ripping down walls with her sultry cries. It's the voice of the crowd echoing back the primal connection of blood and booze through every head-bang and fist-pound.
[The Brotherhood Lounge, with Heavy Cream, Morgan and the Organ Donors, 9 p.m., $5, 119 Capitol Way N., Olympia, 360.352.4153.]
