I feel like I'm on a musical high that never ends sometimes, and the fun just continues on Saturday, when oe of my favorite musical discoveries from a few years back returns to Soda Bar. The first time I caught Hey Marseilles, I was captivated from the first note. The music is amazing and breathtaking and heartbreaking all at the same time -- you do not want to miss this show. Meanwhile, the Casbah and Belly Up are both sold out, our friends Schizophonics rock out at Bar Pink, the fast crowd hits the Ken Club, and our friend Rachel of ListenSD hosts a stellar, mostly local lineup at Music Box.
