Tonight is chockful of great shows around town, so dig in and get some. The lengthily named ... And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead bring their rock to the Casbah, along with Ringo Deathstarr and Follow That Bird, while Matt & Kim and the Thermals bring it to the House of Blues. Locals Fire Eaters play with one of my favorite bands, Fierce Creatures, who hail from Fresno, and Eleven has a great show with Old Tiger, Red Fox Tails and Bloody Mary Bastards; elsewhere, Otro Mundo brings their Latin-infused styling to West Coast Tavern. Don't miss out tonight!
