There are so many shows on Thursday that it's hard to pick just one, but my heart leans a little toward Kitten at the Casbah because it feels like we've been waiting for this show forever and a day. An appearance was booked last year, but then rumor was it was canceled so she could tour with Paramore, and then somehow that got canceled, but a proper Kitten headlining show never happened. Or it did but somehow I was double-booked. I don't even know it's so long ago, but what you need to know is that Kitten is close enough to call a local act, schooled and groomed by the School of Rock, and beloved by other School of Rockers. This show is gonna be fun, and you've probably not seen a woman dominate the stage like Kitten does in quite some time. Still, with DZ Deathrays at Soda Bar, Pearl Charles at the Hideout, and the kickoff to the San Diego Film Festival at Music Box, among other events, Thursday is going to kick ass whichever show you pick.
