Thursday night has some amazing musical options for all tastes. Transfer just returned from their first headlining tour of Europe, however, and it would serve you well to support our hometown boys. They've outgrown the Casbah -- which isn't to say they won't be back -- but this show at the Belly Up should give everyone a little more breathing room. If you can't get up to Solana Beach, SD Music Award-nominated Colin Clyne is playing a free show at West Coast Tavern, TNT returns to the Museum of Contemporary Art with the Nervous Wreckords and Republic of Letters, and Moenia bring some great rock en espanol to the House of Blues.
