Weed really doesn't need a holiday. I don't mean to come off like a dick, but it just doesn't. People who are serious about weed celebrate all the time - sometimes in the shed while their wife thinks they're working on the lawnmower. How do I know such things? I just do. Either way, Wednesday IS the infamous stoner bonanza known as 420, so expect a bunch of goofy text messages from all your dope-smoking buddies, and - more importantly - one hell of a good time Wednesday night at Hell's Kitchen with Tacoma's Mighty High. "Mighty High is a core unit of rock and instrumental dub reggae collaborating with other artists at different shows and events," says the band's Trevor Nicely. "Personally, I think we explore a psychedelic approach to original dub music popular in Europe in the '70s and l'80s. This is not roots reggae or Sublime-inspired music." That right there should separate the show from most 420-related garbage.
