If you're reading this post on Saturday, I suppose it's safe to assume that you're not at Coachella. Perhaps you're like me and thought that Couchella was more rewarding ... watching bands stream in hi-def online or on a plasma screen, seeing incredible performances without the heat and sweat and your agoraphobia taking over. Or maybe you just know that San Diego has enough going on to meet your musical needs. On Saturday at the Casbah, Nashville Ramblers return. Over the past 20-plus years, the band has gotten back together once or twice a year, and along with Schitzophonics and the Scouse Gits, this will be a good night for some beers and shots, or shots and beers. If you're a fan of the Tin Can Country Club, catch some of those regulars over at the Black Cat on University or get your fix of punk at Soda Bar. Or, there's always Couchella.
