There's plenty of music to satisfy different tastes and styles, so if you're the kind of person that believes Thursday is the official kick off to the weekend, now you can get out and prove it. The Casbah has an awesome lineup of locals, a few of whom are graduates of SoundDiego LIVE events, so obviously we throw our support behind the bands. Of course, maybe you have tickets to the sold-out Social D show at the House of Blues or wanna check out Michael McGraw and the Midwinters at Soda Bar along with Chula Vista's the Fixtures. Whatever your desires, you know that San Diego has what you need as you roll into the first weekend of the new year.
