The lo-fi music trailblazers, Sebadoh make their return to San Diego. And I happen to know that frontman Lou Barlow loves playing at the Casbah, where he's performed numerous times with his former band, Dinosaur Jr. and Folk Implosion. After a 14-year recording hiatus, Sebadoh are on the road promoting the Secret EP, with their touring opening act from S.D., Octa#grape. Be sure to get there early for Ditches, a favorite up-and-coming band. I can't believe this show isn't sold out yet -- get your tickets at the door and let the legendary Lou Barlow rock your world.
