Although they’ve only been around for a year, Full Moon Radio has proven themselves a force to be reckoned with. Their immediately likable music and rock star attitude are probably the reason Full Moon Radio was just voted Olympia’s “best new band,” “best indie rock band” and “sexiest band,” by readers and […]
Artist Profile: CHARLIA MESSINGER
CASV coordinator Charlia Messinger’s painting graces our cover this week. We asked her about her art and her advocacy. Why is the body so important in your images? As a fat woman, I have a very complicated relationship with my body. Of course, I think that all people do, but […]
SIXIS: New Beats for a New Mindset
When Ben Wyss – better known under his moniker SIXIS – sits down to talk about music, the thing that most comes across is his artistic vision. The up-and-coming electronic music wizard and DJ conjures tracks worth considering in an age of artless and unimaginative production. In his last year […]
Artist Profile: DANTE GARCIA
What’s your favorite material to work with? Easily a pencil or pen. I’m an old school doodler. Anytime I’m in class my pen or pencil is right at hand. It’s what I feel most natural with. Otherwise, I put a lot of energy into what I’m creating, so I like […]
Community Season 4: A Parody of Community
“Community” has never been a popular show. On a national scale it has been widely ignored. During it’s third season no episode topped four million viewers, a relatively miniscule number.

E-40 Upstaged By Juggalos
Arriving fashionably late, we waited in line as the doorman ushered in handfuls of twenty somethings as if we were waiting to enter a high profile nightclub. It was already 11 p.m., but the rush of intoxicated youth continued to bombard the Royal’s entrance as the muddled P.A.’s fueled our […]

Hellships Break Out With “Leaden Hum”
by Issac Scott The first thing you notice about Hellships when they play live is their sheer brutality. Sure, a lot of bands play loud. Every high school metalhead has their Marshal half-stack of amplifiers turned to 11. But Hellships bring a new kind of intensity to their instrument that transforms […]
