Yesterday was quite the blustery one in San Diego, so if the rain and wind kept you in, you can join in on the second day of Artwalk in Little Italy or Adams Avenue Unplugged. By nightfall there are some especially great shows, too. At Soda Bar, it's the return of Reptar. I don't think they've been to town since 2012, but after successfully touring with Foster the People way back then, the band has finally released their sophomore album, "Lurid Glow," and are touring in support. Around town, the always-amazing Kaiser Chiefs are at the House of Blues, and singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield, who performs as Waxahatchee, plays at the Casbah on the heels of her third release, "Ivy Tripp."
