We like to think that every band is a buzz band, but one getting tons of attention lately is Hoops. We were excited when they were scheduled to play a couple months back at the Irenic but then they canceled and we let out a deep sigh. But here they are, making their Casbah debut and you don't want to miss it. Of course, it's not the only worthy show tonight. Rodriguez returns to San Diego with a show at Humphreys, Catfish & the Bottlemen are back at House of Blues, and Japanese psych-rockers Kikagaku Moyo play at Space.
