The Columbia City Theater is hands-down one of the citys most aesthetically pleasing venues, all scarlet hues and seductive, Prohibition-era vibe. This makes it an ideal, stately setting for more reserved regular headliners like Damien Jurado and Drew Grow, but not the first thing that leaps to mind when one thinks of metal. This changes tonight, with a line-up of some of the best Northwest acts of the genre, including the joyfully confrontational Princess and the recently reunited Argonaut, whose burly blend of stoner and sludge rock pairs perfectly with headliners Vultures 2012, who are fresh off the road after a West Coast run in support of their latest release, Bare Your Teeth. With The Loathsome Couple. HANNAH LEVIN
