Sounds Like San Diego: November 23

Capital Cities storm San Diego when they hit the House of Blues Sunday

"Safe and Sound" quickly became one of those inescapable songs of summer, launching Capital Cities from a small indie rock band to a powerhouse played across radio formats, on television commercials, and performing at festivals across the country. I have to say, the band does one of the funniest things I've ever seen: After they play the hit, they set down their instruments and line up at the front of the stage -- and then a recorded version of the song plays, complete with a dub-step drop, as the band dances and hypes the crowd to do the same. It's kind of hilarious, but also pretty awesome to see the whole audience really get into the moment. You can see what it's like for yourself when the band performs tonight at the House of Blues.
