6-Pack of Things To Do: Jan. 28-30 2022

January is ending, and even though the omicron variant has caused cancellations and postponements of numerous events, there’s still plenty of fun to be had around Tacoma. Check out 6-Pack of Things To Do: Jan. 28-30 and enjoy your weekend. Cheers!

MUSIC: The shelf life for punk bands isn’t a long one. See: Drug abuse. It seems like even the ones lucky enough to make it out of the 1970s have been dying off. Whether it’s because of overdoses (Dee Dee Ramone), cancer (Joey Ramone), heart attack (Joe Strummer) or general band breakups, most of the seminal punk bands to emerge in the late ’70s no longer exist in their true form. That said, ’70s punk rock is still alive thanks to Jazzbones’ punk rock version of their everlasting live band karaoke nights, Rockaraoke. The impressive backing band features vocalist/guitarist Greg Hetson (Bad Religion, Circle Jerks), guitarist Stan Lee (The Dickies), bassist Randy Bradbury (Pennywise), and drummer Darrin Pfeiffer (Goldfinger). Bands Dreadful Children and DadXBod open. 8 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 30, 2803 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, $12-$16

BEER FLIGHT: “The magnitude or intensity that must be exceeded for a certain reaction, phenomenon, result, or condition to occur or be manifested” is the definition of “threshold” in most dictionaries. Threshold is also the passion project for Portland, Oregon, couple Jarek and Sara Szymanski who opened Threshold Brewing & Blending the beer-centric neighborhood of Montavilla two years ago this month. “Our aim at Threshold is to continue what we’ve been doing since we first fell in love with brewing: share our craft with others, brew the beers we love, push boundaries and connect with our town and neighborhood. Threshold is about a shared community, a place to bring your family, a place to try good things and a place to meet good people,” states Threshold hype. Together, the Poland-born Jarek and Portland local Sara brew experimental hoppy ales, funk farmhouse beers, mixed-culture sours, and bourbon-forward dark, strong beers. Swing by Peaks & Pints today and grab our to-go flight of Threshold beers. 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday, Jan. 28, 3816 N. 26th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma

TACOMA NIGHT MARKET: The aim is simple: Provide Tacoma with a monthly, well curated night-market destination with revolving vendors and offerings, where people can gather, have a drink, enjoy local food, bring their families, and support our local artists and crafters. This week, Tacoma Night Market isn’t as simple. Market founder Leah Morgan will embed her creation in The Tacoma Home and Garden Show inside the Tacoma Dome. It’s the Market’s debut at the Tacoma Dome, which has hosted The Home and Garden Show for nearly 40 years. 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Jan. 27-29, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 30., Tacoma Dome, 2727 E. D. St., Tacoma

FILM: Two women, Janis and Ana, coincide in a hospital room where they are going to give birth. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Janis (Penélope Cruz), middle-aged, doesn’t regret it and she is exultant. The other, Ana, an adolescent, is scared, repentant, and traumatized. Janis tries to encourage her while they move like sleepwalkers along the hospital corridors. The few words they exchange in these hours will create a very close link between the two, which by chance develops and complicates, and changes their lives in a decisive way. Parallel Mothers screens this weekend at The Grand Cinema. 11:35 a.m., 2:15, 5 and 7:45 p.m., Friday-Sunday, Jan. 28-30, 6060 S. Fawcett, Tacoma, photo courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics

CLASSICAL: Join Northwest Sinfonietta and guest conductor Jeffery Meyer for “Sound and Fury,” an electrifying journey featuring new masterpieces by Jessie Montgomery and Anna Clyne bookended by Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture and Symphony No. 8. 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 29, 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 30, Rialto Theater, 310 S. Ninth St., Tacoma

MUSIC: One of the great under-appreciated bands of our time, War, will play music at the Pantages Theater Saturday night. Now, you know about “Low Rider” and “The Cisco Kid” and “Slipping Into Darkness” and “Why Can’t We Be Friends” and “The World Is A Ghetto.” But did you know they were Eric Burdon’s backup band for a while, and that’s them on “Spill the Wine”? No, you didn’t. But no doubt the band will “Spill the Wine” Saturday. 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 29, 901 Broadway, Tacoma, $39-$110
