Sounds Like San Diego: June 18

I haven't been as excited about a show in quite some time. On Wednesday, Owl John make their Casbah debut. Only it isn't the first time at least one of these musicians has taken the stage at the venue, because Owl John is a side-project of Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit. He's taken advantage of a band hiatus after a fourth release and has recorded Hate Music, an album not even released until August. If you've loved Frightened Rabbit over the years but lamented that their popularity meant they outgrew small clubs, this is your chance to see something new and fresh while old and familiar at the same time. Don't sleep on this band, or they, too, might outgrow small clubs before you know it.
