Thursday night is like a music lover's dream come true, if only you could be in more than one place at a time. Alas, you can't so be realistic with your expectations. Tonight, you can catch Parachute's return to House of Blues, or catch Haunted Summer at Soda Bar. Euro-dance god Parov Stelar is at the Observatory and there are still a handful of tickets to Deafheaven at the Casbah. My money is on Unknown Mortal Orchestra, however. The band is amazing live, and to be honest, I always thought they would be the ones where Tame Impala is today. But maybe soon. There are still some tickets to the show, but not many, so grab them online or via phone before you head to Solana Beach.
