Remember last week how I told you that touring bands love to come to San Diego in the fall? Tonight is another great example. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart will take over the Belly Up for another installment of FM 94/9's About the Music series, while Chad VanGaalen performs at the Soda Bar. Personally, I am excited about the return of Megafaun to the Casbah. The last time they performed, they were a support act and blew everyone away with their well-crafted songs and their bigger-than-life stage presence. With a solid new release under their belts, this show definitely warrants my attention and attendance.
