If you flipped through the calendar from McCoy's Tavern around 10 years ago, when any given weekend promised a fucking rock show, Mico De Noche would be one of the bands listed, scrawled across dried beer, the letters slightly blurred. And on those show days, the buzz about the super tight metal two piece would be more than a symptom of happy hour. People were genuinely excited to see them, just as they are today. Mico De Noche has evolved over the last decade into a reputable foursome that continues to excel at rocking and sarcasm.

This upcoming weekend both Tacoma and Olympia get to taste the sweet dank metal of Mico De Noche, with thrash duo Vanguard and T-town metalheads Bloodhunger. Come to either show and have access to Mico De Noche's brand spanking new 7-inch set to release in stores Feb 26. The blood red disc features cover artwork by Eugene based Sean Schock, who does work for handfuls of bands, including YOB and Brothers of the Sonic Cloth. In other words, that 7-inch is sexy as hell and will look good in your collection. Come to the show and let the metal take over.
