Oh, Valentine's Day. The most-hated and -loved day of the year. The music scene, fortunately, carries on, whether you celebrate with a sweetie or just want to enjoy a Friday night on the town. Lion Cut, the cutest cat couple in town, headline the Casbah tonight, while another all-local lineup rocks the Griffin. Country lovers can check out Lonestar at Sycuan, and Dead Man's Party have another sold-out show at the Belly Up. For indie-rock fans, check out Hospitality at Soda Bar. The band's latest single, "I Miss Your Bones," is gritty and catchy and is all over the blogosphere and satellite radio. It's just a matter of time before it catches on with the masses.
