A couple weeks back I spewed praise for the long-awaited comeback of Tacoma band Argonaut. I've liked Argonaut, led by singer-bassist Matt Sader, since way back in my Tacoma Reporter days, so it wasn't hard to do. Meant every word of it. The problem arose when the band didn't end up playing the show I spoke of - a poker tournament at Hell's Kitchen. Oopsy-daisy! This week, there's no chance in hell Argonaut will miss the opportunity to throw down with Tacoma's most intimate arena-rock band, Big Wheel Stunt Show, and last year's Weekly Volcano Best of Tacoma "Best Metal Band" winner, Mahnhammer. This show has awesome written all over it.
