acoma Weekly caught its first glimpse of Olympia hard-rock quartet Mosquito Hawk back in March at Hilltop party house the Dwell Hole, a cozy setting that could scarcely contain the band’s frenetic, stoner jams. With a little research, we learned they’re kind of an Oly super-group; and with their next T-town gig rapidly approaching – June 28 at the New Frontier Lounge. We rang up Olivia Love, the band’s swaggering front-woman, to learn a bit more. Seasoned indie vets: The band formed in 2012. But collectively, Love estimates the band has 80-plus years of experience rocking South Sound venues in other bands. Love is an alumnus of both Rodeo Kill and all-female Black Sabbath tribute band Black Betty; guitarist and backup singer Jon Merithew is also half of C-Average; bassist Sean McCoy has played with Bacchus and Electric FalMUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (107 MIN, PG-13) 6/21: 1:50, 4:10, 6:30, 8:50 6/22-6/23: 11:30am, 1:50, 4:10, 6:30, 8:50, 6/24-6/27: 1:50, 4:10, 6:30, 8:50 THE EAST (116 MIN, PG-13) 6/21: 2:30, 5:00, 7:30 6/22-6/23: 12:00, 2:30, 5:00, 7:30 6/24-6/27: 2:30, 5:00, 7:30 BEFORE MIDNIGHT (108 MIN, R) 6/21: 2:05, 4:25, 6:45 6/22: 11:35am, 2:05, 4:25, 6:45 6/23: 11:35am, 2:05, 4:25, 6:45, 9:10, 6/24-6/27: 2:05, 4:25, 6:45, 9:10 KON TIKI (118 MIN, PG-13) 6/21-6/24: 3:30, 8:30, 6/25: 3:30 6/26: 3:30, 8:30, 6/27: 3:30 MUD (130 MIN, PG-13) 6/21: 5:45, 6/22-6/23: 12:45, 5:45 6/24: 5:45, 6/25: 9:00, 6/26: 5:45 -no screenings on THU 6/27THE BEYOND (87 MIN, NR) Fri. 6/21-Sat 6/22: 9:09 AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF HER BEAUTY (93 MIN, NR) Tue. 6/25: 1:45, 6:45

cons; and drummer Jerry Zeigler moonlights in Hartwood, Fitz of Depression and Demon Dogs. Black Sabbath meets the Beatles: Mosquito Hawk tends to dwell on the heavier end of the rock spectrum, but they’re not afraid to show their sentimental sides with a faithful rendition of “Dear Prudence.” Of their eclectic sound: Love said, “Each musician has come from kind of a different background. Phil (original bassist, Heinze), who helped us write a lot of the first songs, that we still play, is very much a metal guy. While Jon and Jerry are both into metal, I’d say Jon comes from more of the blues and classic rock aspect and Jerry comes in from more of the punk and thrash-metal side of music. “And I grew up listening to the Beatles and the Mamas and the Papas and the Rolling Stones. I was firmly ensconced in classic rock and earlier. I really liked Nirvana but, honestly, I wasn’t really tuning into the Seattle scene as it was happening very much. Two decades before I was born
– that’s where my musical preferences lay.” Debut disc: The band recorded its self-titled EP last year with Seattle super-producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney). The disc, which includes set staples “Tyranny,” “Whet,” “Evacuation” and “Letdown,” is available through iTunes and BandCamp.com. What is a mosquito hawk, anyway?: “It’s an insect,” Love explained. “The female of the species lays her eggs on mosquitoes, I believe, and when the larvae hatch they eat the mosquitoes alive. They’re also known as a crane fly or a mosquito eater, I believe.” (Creepy! After Googling it, though, we wonder why it’s not called “hawk mosquito” – and if they make repellent for ‘em.) Show details: Mosquito Hawk will share a bill with Electric Falcons with music starting after 9 p.m. You must be 21 or older to enter the New Frontier, which is located at 301 E. 25th St., Tacoma; (253) 572-4020 or www. thenewfrontierlounge.com for further details.
