Sounds Like San Diego: May 2

Call the Police!

If you happened to be at the Casbah the last time Toyko Police Club performed, you experienced a pretty stellar night of music. That's why it is no surprise that tonight's show at the Belly Up is completely sold out, especially with incredible openers Geographer and Said The Whale. If you didn't grab a ticket, however, fret not. Grampadrew's Flim Flam Revue returns to the Casbah and the last one was very well attended and with the vibe of Tin Can Country Club expanded, this is a country variety show that is fun while showcasing some of San Diego's finest talents. Around town, Goblin performs at House of Blues, Eukaryst celebrates a CD release at Soda Bar, and don't miss Chess Wars- with our own Dustin Lothspeich- at the Merrow.
