Tonight feels like a typical night in San Diego after the holidays slowed things down a bit. You can catch OFF! at the Casbah and watch drummer and local Mario Rubalcaba absolutely destroy his kit, or head up to the Belly Up for the first of two nights with chill singer-songwriter Donavon Frankenreiter. Warsaw (featuring members of Ilya) drop into Seven Grand and Aussie Citizen Cope returns to the Observatory. Those are just some of the solid choices to pick from before we inch into the New Year.
