Hopefully you have tomorrow off because Sunday night is really going to go off. As we covered earlier this week, The Griswolds are coming from Australia to Casbah along with Dreamers, trading in their youthful naivete for a "deeper, darker honesty" that will surely mark their performance as a treat for the new year. Meanwhile, veterans Safe Ferris, with their pop-punk-ska sounds, will take you back to a time when No Doubt was still playing free street fairs and life was a little more care-free. Around town, Soda Bar hosts the Fink Bombs, actor-musician David Duchovny plays Music Box and the Holding Company hosts a local night featuring Hand Drawn Tree.
