Alright, kids. Saint Patrick's Day is on Sunday but don't let that deter you from a great music weekend in San Diego leading up to it. Soda Bar has a killer lineup with the New Kinetics headlining while those with an affinity for punk rock can get their fill with Swingin' Utters at the Casbah. You can catch the sweet soul sounds of the Styletones at Bar Pink or celebrate Whiskey Weekend at the Void with a lineup that will have you slamming back the shots. Be safe out there and get your weekend kicked off right with some sweet tunes.
