BACKGROUND The City of Tacoma is seeking proposals for the management and operations of its Performing Arts Venues. The City of Tacoma owns three performing arts venues, the Pantages Theater and associated Jones Building, the Rialto Theater, and Theater on the Square (the Theaters). The Theaters are located within a one block downtown area known as the Theater District and are home to Tacoma’s Resident Arts Organizations. The historic Pantages Theater opened in 1918 as a vaudeville house. The City just completed a $21.8 million renovation that included updating the building’s facade, seismic upgrades, new seating, restoration of plaster and paintwork, lighting, sound, acoustics, digital marquees, and ADA improvements. The Pantages Theater has 1274 seats, one balcony and orchestra pit for 32 musicians. Attached to the Pantages is the Jones Building, also built in 1918, that houses offices for several of the city’s Resident Arts Organizations. The beaux-arts style Rialto Theater also opened in 1918 and served as an art deco movie palace. It has 738 seats with outstanding acoustics and a thrust stage. The Theater on the Square is an intimate contemporary theater that opened in 1993. It has 302 seats, proscenium stage and full production capabilities including a rehearsal room and studio space. The theaters have been managed since 1983 by the non-profit Broadway Center for the Performing Arts, now known as Tacoma Arts Live. The current management agreement, signed in 2016 and extended through June 30, 2021 assigns day to day operations and maintenance of the venues. Tacoma Arts Live has also presented shows. Detail on the compensation paid to the manager by the City of Tacoma over the last six years is provided in Exhibit C10. To learn more about the City of Tacoma, visit https://makeittacoma.com/city-info/city-profile/. The City anticipates awarding one contract. The City of Tacoma will contemplate a broad range of business, financial, and organizational structures, provided that the City of Tacoma shall retain ownership of the venues. 2. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS To be eligible to respond to the RFP, responding organizations must have experience operating, maintaining and managing theaters, demonstrate financial stability and be community focused. The City will only consider responses that

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

    INITIALS C.C. Liner Notes

    Chris Connelly : INITIALS C.C. Out-takes, Rarities and Personal Favourites 1982-2002 vol.1 01. Detestimony – Fini Tribe: This was the “A” side of an EP called “Let the Tribe Grow,” written and recorded when the Fini Tribe was going through great musical changes. We had acquired an Ensoniq ‘Mirage’ sampling keyboard, and as was the same for a lot of bands at the time, it changed everything, opened up a lot of doors, and led us into some very uncharted waters. The actual piece was whittled down from a fifteen-minute opus we had written. I remember being in Philip Pinsky’s bedroom one night with John Vick. Philip’s then-roommate, Lindsay, gave us an old quarter-inch reel of tape he had. On it was a beautiful recording of the church bells you hear on the song; we sampled them and came up with the melody. The EP actually did better than any of us had anticipated and became a sort of hit in the Ibiza clubs at the very advent of the acid house/rave phenomenon. We actually went ahead and re-wrote/re- structured the song for the WaxTrax! Records release (“Make it Internal/Detestimony Revisited”) a couple of years later. 02. Mania – Murder Inc.: Certainly what I feel is the most compelling song on the one and only album released by Murder Inc. The band was basically Killing Joke, minus Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke’s singer), plus me, as well as the original drummer, Paul Fergusson, and newer drummer, Martin Atkins. The sessions took place at Pachyderm Studios in rural Minnesota during September of 1991.

Punk’s not Dead, towards forensics of iconography: Transgression and resistance in intersecting counter- cultures’ identities Lynn Osman254 Abstract The research examines the role of iconography, visual, performance and sound, as means or resistance and transgression. Control, coercion, manipulation as means of power to maintain hegemony, to fabricate political, cultural or social truths, have been subverted historically through subcultures. I aim to deconstruct layers, through studying the mechanism of representation of specific subcultures. The paper focuses first on transgression in the formation of Punk subculture, and by comparing and juxtaposing it to Christianity at its advent, as subculture, to study the role of iconography, through mutual associations.

Tags: Music, Inspiration, Beginnings, Independence, Mental health, Politics, Success. On punk rock, the role of the artist, and the importance of ceremony Composer, conductor, and Killing Joke vocalist Jaz Coleman on the importance of magic and ritual, punk rock as a gateway to the world, and why every person has the capacity for genius. You’ve talked about the importance of magic in music and art. How has that principle guided your artistic path over the years? When you start out and you just have dreams, you need magic in order to make those dreams happen. It’s really that simple. On the last tour that we did across England, there was an occasion where somebody who was in my class at school turned up, and they said that when I was 14 and a half I said I was going to start a band and make a success of it, and there we were 40 years later. But, of course, when you start, you have so many odds stacked against you that you need to tap into a higher force, if you like, in order to overcome the overwhelming odds. For example, when I met [Killing Joke drummer] Big Paul, how the hell did we find two other people who had a revolutionary style of playing, and at the same time they understand geopolitics, and at the same time they had some sort of understanding of the mystery tradition? It was a tall order, but we found them through magic.

    The Impossible Made Real: A Typology of Loops and an Exploration of the Impact of Immediacy and Hypermediacy in Popular Music Paul Carr University of South Wales [email protected] Ben Challis Manchester Metropolitan University [email protected] Abstract All popular music has a degree of repetition at a micro and/or macro level, a paradigm that has also been shown to be true in both the European classical tradition and music of most other cultures. The occurrences of these events can range from the smallest motific melodic fragment, to ‘phrase’ (question/answer) and ‘section’ (verse chorus) repetitions, to riff based harmonic/melodic patterns. These repetitions usually occur on an intra compositional basis, but as evidenced by the pervasiveness of sampled loops in contemporary dance music and rap, can also work on inter compositional levels, resulting in potential conceptual allusions of musical (and non-musical) factors between texts. This essay examines the creative incorporation of a specific type of repetition in popular music, that of loop-based composition and improvisation. KEYWORDS: Loops, Hypermediacy, popular music, composition Introduction We would like to open this essay by agreeing with Richard Middleton’s perspective that “all popular songs, to a greater or lesser extent, fall under the power of repetition” (Middleton, 2006: 15). This is a viewpoint that has also been shown to be true in both the European classical tradition and the music of many other world cultures. Indeed, repetition in Western music has a long-standing tradition when IASPM Journal vol.10 no.1 (2020) Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music ISSN 2079-3871 | DOI 10.5429/2079-3871(2020)v10i1.4en | www.iaspmjournal.net 44 Paul Carr and Ben Challis viewed from both macro and micro perspectives, terminology that Middleton describes as discursive and musematic, respectively (Middleton, 2006: 16).

Want guttural and raspy look at with this release: all of the lyrics from the EPs and splits, a gig list through 2009 vocals? Want technical guitars and artificial harmonics? Want fusion bass chords? (when they put this baby out), and live tracks. Essential for any Misery Index fan, and TTons of riffs per song? How about blast beats and double bass? You got all that here. it’s damn good for anybody into intelligent death grind, if you want to call it that. There’s a bit of Suffocation, a bit of Morbid Angel, and various other proper death metal www.miseryindex.com bands to draw influence from. The third track, “Passages to Perdition,” has a neato drum intro, and the rest of the music on this demo is similarly impressive. It’s how they do in Maryland. Permafrost Demo 2011 www.myspace.com/condemntheinfected If these guys are death metal, then they’re “blackened” death metal, which if we’re correct means DM with a BM influence. Death metal vocals mingle with blast beats, black metal-esque riffs, and shaky production values, but there’s some interesting ideas Druglord 2010 demo on Demo 2011 , for example the slow, crunchy riff on top of a blast on “Shiva.”And Their Facebook info tab reads, “3 old punks from back in the day (early 80s) playing while Virginia’s Permafrost is low on presentation on their four-song demo, they’re high loud, slow, bass drenched metal.” The band isn’t bass drenched so much, but it’s on positive mental attitude.

This will sit alongside a truly eclectic mix of already announced headliners on the Town Centre stage including rock-rap supergroup Prophets of Rage, Slaves, Gogol Bordello, Killing Joke, ​ ​ ​ Therapy?, Atari Teenage Riot and two-tone legend Neville Staple Band. ​ ​ Boomtown’s diverse line-up fuses with innovative theatre and incredible immersive set design to create a living, breathing fictitious city.

There are four venues, where Boomtown’s long standing ska punk and metal community are treated to a mix of genres and artists from definitive figures in the scene to boundary pushing sounds from the underground. Last Gang in Town present the flagship punk venue Hangar 161, which is in the form of a full ​ ​ ​ scale aircraft hangar and is headlined by American punk rock icons, the politically minded Pennywise who are now in their 30th year.
