Wednesday is an exciting night for me personally, as we celebrate the launch of website DoSD, which should complement all of the other great sites in town, but musically it's even more exciting, because with just an RSVP, you can catch som of San Diego's finest bands. For example, it wasn't that long ago that we heard Mrs. Magician was calling it quits, and not only are they back, but they have a new album and are headlining tonight at the Casbah. (In case you miss them, they're also opening for Joyce Manor on Saturday.) But Schizophonics, Birdy Bardot and the Palace Ballroom are all joining in on the free Casbah fun. Of course, it's not the only show in town, so you can still grab tickets to Lake Street Dive at the Observatory (with super-buzz band the Suffers opening), while Metric play the first of two nights at the Belly Up, and Beacon return to town for a show at Soda Bar.
