There are some bands that -- no matter how great they sound on record -- you never fully appreciate their music until you see them live. Langhorne Slim is one such performer, and San Diego has had the good fortune to have Slim return a handful of times over the past few years, slowing building their crowd. If you've seen them once, you make a point to see them again, and tonight with two opportunities to do so -- and with new additions to the band -- you can become one of the Langhorne Slim faithful.
