Sounds Like San Diego: August 26

We hope you enjoyed last night's SoundDiego Live show. Thanks to all who joined us in the fun. Hopefully you will use last night as a springboard for live music around town tonight and throughout the weekend. Airborne Toxic Event will certainly draw huge crowds to the Del Mar Racetrack for their Summer Concert Series, while Hyena will blow the lid off the Casbah. Butthole Surfers are also in town tonight, performing at Brick By Brick with 400 Blows. Note that this show was originally scheduled for 4th & B but changed venues. All Ticketmaster and Frontgate tickets will be honored, and tickets will be available at the door as well.
