Sounds Like San Diego: April 20

Oh, you San Diegans are so funny. You would think that 4/20 is a holiday around here, with all the special shows. We get it. You like the green. Very clever. There are still some great shows Monday, with or without your special day. The Cat Empire return for a show at the Belly Up, while Artistic hosts another Battle Bot competition at the Casbah. Soda Bar keeps it local with Fusebox, and Tower and the Merrow have good options, too. The Observatory hosts Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, who will perform "E. 1999 Eternal" for all of you feeling nostalgic for a throwback to the '90s.
