SATURDAY

CLAYMORE (finale) w/ Kane Hodder, Alligators and Kids on Bikes at 7 p.m. at Jackson Hall, 9161 Washington Ave. in Silverdale. All ages, presented by Big Mouth Music, $8 cover.

Kane Hodder — the Bremerton-born band of sledding enthusiasts — is another group laced with local talent that exploded on the Seattle scene a few years back and grabbed the attention of a national record label.

With a uniquely hyperactive form of hard core pop rock that pushed the envelope and made Stranger music writer Megan Seling a believer, Kane Hodder enjoyed a bevy of airtime on Seattle radio stations and prestigious party stages like the Capital Hill Block Party and Bumbershoot in 2005.

Consequently most of the band moved to the city and then hit the road on a tour in support of its first full-length “The Pleasure to Remain Heartless.” Unfortunately they returned a bit heartless and soon thereafter two members of the band seceded, guitarist Eric Christianson recounted, seemingly spelling the end.

But, the Hodder returned from the brink of extinction, enlisting the help of a few friends from Claymore. Now, that band — another Kitsap crew that’s been around as long as Hodder — is playing what’s been thrown around as its final show this weekend at Jackson Hall. Info: www.myspace.com/bigmouthmusic.
