In 2010, the reopened Columbia City Theater did wonders to match its rich history (Ella Fitzgerald and Jimi Hendrix have both played here) with contemporary local acts. In the surprisingly quiet wake of their June release Sex Tape—a stellar record that could as easily place the blame for its understated reception on the mature subject matter as anything else—Seattle rap trio Dyme Def headlines the venue’s first New Year’s Eve party under the new management. Support on the bill comes from garage-rockers Hounds of the Wild Hunt and the all-female punk quartet NightTraiN, making for a wildly eclectic way to ring in the New Year. NICK FELDMAN
