It's Thursday night in San Diego, and though it's not the final Thursday of the month -- that's reserved for Thanksgiving this month -- it is time for your SoundDiego friends to gather some of our favorite local acts and serve up some drinks for SoundDiego LIVE. This time around, we're at the finest whiskey bar in town, Seven Grand, in the heart of North Park. We'll be taking over the whole joint, so there will be room for everyone as we rock out to the sounds of Low Volts, Two Wolves, and our Garage 2 Glory winner, Amerikan Bear.. It's going to be a really great time, and after it wraps, you'll still have time to check out Geographer at the Casbah, Barbarian at the Void or Octa#Grape just down the block at Bar Pink. Of course, we'll miss you if you're checking out Pearl Jam, in which case we'll see you in January. We can't hold that against you, after all.
