Sounds Like San Diego: March 6

As the weekend approaches, the number of great live shows just keeps growing. Thursday, you can catch the beautiful chanteuse Nicole Atkins perform at Soda Bar. She stunned us at Sunset Sessions in the past and proved that she deserves your ear. If you're not over 21, you can catch her special in-store performance in the afternoon at M-Theory. If you're in the same neck of the woods as Soda Bar, walk over to the Hideout to see Warm Soda. The bar re-opened on Friday night, and there's hardly a remnant of its former iteration as the Void, Eleven, Radio Room or Zombie Lounge. At Bar Pink, art rockers JD Samson and Men headline, and there's even a Tom Brousseau show down the street at the barely used North Park Vaudeville & Candy Shop. And if you're looking for the kind of show you can brag about later, check out Pigpen Theatre Co. The group of musicians/actors/writers perform dreamy indie rock that resemblesthe Decemberists. That is a lot of greatness for a Thursday night.
