The weekend is finally here and SoundDiego is so proud to host our first SoundDiego LIVE: Platinum Edition show on a Friday! We've lined up some incredible acts -- Vokab Kompany and Dr. Seahorse -- to kick off a stellar night and weekend of music and fun. Don't mind the impending storm -- all it takes is a jacket and sensible footwear, really -- to enjoy this night. We couldn't be more thrilled to be at 207 at the always awesome Hard Rock Hotel to really go bigger than ever. After you've celebrated with us, you can still get out on the town to celebrate CityBeat's Local Music issue at the Griffin, catch the Creepy Creeps at Whistle Stop or any of the numerous shows that make this a great weekend kickoff.
