RSVP Now for SoundDiego LIVE at Bar Pink on 8/29!

Join us Aug. 29 at Bar Pink for a FREE show with great bands!

We're taking July off to recharge, but SoundDiego LIVE is coming back to North Park on Friday, Aug. 29!
 
Yep, that’s right: For the next installment of our FREE monthly live-music bash, we'll be holing up at Bar Pink (on 30th St. and University) for a party hosted by 91x's Robin Roth.


If you're like us, you want to know one thing: Who's headlining? Ask and ye shall receive: Barbarian! The local garage surf/pop group has been making major waves not only in San Diego but nationally as well. Being hand-picked to tour the U.S. with Bat for Lashes will do that for a band! Rumors are, they're also primed to drop a new album fairly soon -- and you're sure to get a taste of the new material at our party.
 
"Barbarian have a post-punk pop feel with elements of psych and surf rock," 91x DJ Robin Roth said. "They're the perfect soundtrack to summertime."
 
We'll also be featuring the fuzz-rock trio Buddy Banter as well. The group has been on fire as of late, scheduling shows with everyone from Diarrhea Planet and GRMLN to the Appleseed Cast. Their 2013 album, "Paradise Thrillz," even made our Best of 2013 list -- read about their sun-shiny rock goodness here.
 
Roth is convinced the the lineup is perfect for summer: "The combination of Barbarian and Buddy Banter, who’s influences include the Strokes and the Pixies, will make for a great SoundDiego LIVE -- hot August nights always make for some incredible shows, so there's nothing better than when they're free and include awesome bands."
 
In addition, our Garage 2 Glory competition returns with Grizzly Business and Electric Healing Sound! They'll both be slugging it out online before one of them emerges victorious and lands a spot on the show. Electric Healing Sound, an energetic post-punk quartet, is one of the hottest bands coming out of the Tijuana scene. Grizzly Business, who play indie rock with nods to Spoon and the Shins, have been hunkered down in the studio with a new album on the way. We're big fans of both -- who will you choose? Vote here!
 
And if you were wondering: Yes,our sponsor Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey will, naturally, be hosting a happy hour starting when the doors open at 8.
 
And to help you enjoy that happy hour, we're proud to remind you we've partnered with Uber, which will be on site the night of the party for a safe-drive-home service. All customers new to Uber will be able to get a $20 credit on site toward their first ride, and if they're already an Uber customer, they can get a $7 credit for their ride home from SoundDiego LIVE that night.
  
So go ahead, San Diego, and make the right call – go big at SoundDiego LIVE on Aug. 29 at Bar Pink: RSVP here now!
