TIKI LOGIC: Hell's Kitchen to move

Plus: Mad Caddies and Don Robertson

It’s a new week, which means it’s time for a new installment of Bobble Tiki’s South Sound music news and notes column. Without further ado, let’s get rolling.

So, Hell’s Kitchen is moving downtown. Perhaps you’ve already heard. First broken on the blogosphere by everyone’s favorite Michael Turner (Atlanta Falcons running back) look-alike, Ernest Jasmin, the Trib revealed earlier this week that Sixth Ave. and Proctor are about to get a lot more quiet. Hell’s Kitchen will host its last show at its current location Nov. 28 then relocate downtown to the old Stephanie’s Gospel and Jazz and La Costa Mexican restaurant location by mid December.

Not surprisingly, the move stems mainly from Washington’s strict sprinkler law, which would have soon forced Hell’s Kitchen in its current location to fork over $60,000 to stay legal. The new Hell’s Kitchen location, naturally, already has the required sprinklers.

Speaking of Hell’s Kitchen, don’t miss the badass show lined up for Monday, Nov. 2 featuring Mad Caddies. Considering the amount of time Bobble Tiki spent listening to KGRG in the late ‘90s and early part of this decade, Mad Caddies have practically burned a sonic impression in Bobble Tiki’s brain — in oh such a good way. Bobble Tiki knows it’s a Monday, but Mad Caddies at Hell’s Kitchen is destined to be one of this week’s best.

Finally, it was announced this week that semi-legendary Tacoma metal promoter/manager extraordinaire Don Robertson will be the new President of Century Media — a heavyweight in the world of crushing metal. Though Robertson will continue to manage 3 Inches of Blood and Toxic Holocaust, he’ll also help Century Media stay relevant as a record company in the age of the internet — which is no small task even with the company’s impressive history. Bobble Tiki wishes Robertson all the luck in the world — there’s not a better dude for the job.
