Some people just have it in their blood. It keeps them up at night, recalling a riff, imaging hook with melody, composing and writing and fretting until music simply explodes from them. Other people have it in their blood to take the dreams of those musicians and polish, re-arrange, edit, and offer a creative soundboard before wrapping up a final production that glistens with just the right amount of grit and gleams with just the right amount of raw. And some people have both in their blood. Jack Endino is one of those people, and first listen to "Set Myself on Fire," the title track of his band Endino's Earthworm's upcoming full-length release, and I'm sold. Deep vocals, edgy lyrics, and a crushing ride of instrumentals leaves me pleased. Endino may have produced Nirvana and Mudhoney, but all that matters is that his band is going to tear up The New Frontier, and you are invited.

ENDINO'S EARTHWORM, w/Mosquito Hawk and Electric Falcons, 9 p.m., The New Frontier Lounge, 301 E. 25^th St., Tacoma, cover TBA, 253.572.4020
