Sounds Like San Diego: September 24

For the past 10 years, local music writer and musician Bart Mendoza has curated the Staring at the Sun CD series.


Sign up for our FREE SoundDiego LIVE Party next week


Bringing together some of San Diego's best veteran bands along with some of our up-and-coming acts, he'll celebrate our diversity and talent with the release of this year's 44-track album. There are two nights to get your hands on the free CD and see some of the bands perform live at the Casbah, also for free.

Really, you have no reason not to check it out and support the local scene, unless of course you're heading to Dragonette at the Belly Up, Alanis Morissette at Humphreys or Amanda Palmer at the House of Blues. Those are some pretty great shows, especially for a Monday, so make your workday easier by knowing you have some early fun planned.
