"How do I get back there to/The place where I fell asleep inside you?" In 1997, "Semi-Charmed Life" was all over the radio, starting as an alt-rock hit and crossing over to the masses. It was inescapable, but that was okay, because who couldn't sing along to that "Doot-doot-doot/do-duh-doot-doot"? For fans of Third Eye Blind, that song was just one facet of a deep catalogue and now that they're at the Observatory North Park tonight, expect a super fun Friday of '90s nostalgia. Meanwhile, Casbah has a local lineup to replace the cancelled Cullen Omori show, our buddies Bit Maps play Whistle Stop, and metal band the Shrine is at Music Box.
