Sounds Like San Diego: March 26

How can you get over the hump of the week? With a free show, of course! This month's Commune is taking place at Soda Bar and features dance-punkers Moving Units (you may have seen the band at SxSW on last week's SoundDiego TV -- click here to see more). The band, with releases on local label Three One G, will surely bring some serious energy to your midweek blues. Meanwhile, Reverend Horton Heat performs the second of three nights at the Casbah, and at press time there are still some tickets left. Tuesday and Thursday sold out in advance, so don't wait. Finally, U-31 is the new home of Sway, an art event that also happens to have some bands we love, like the Heavy Guilt and Jackson Price. It looks like a good Wednesday to perk you up for the rest of the week.
