Sounds Like San Diego: August 31

Casbah and Soda Bar are your best bets for Monday music

I'm going to give it to you straight: There are not a lot of live music options this Monday night. I suppose part of the reason is that is was a pretty big weekend in San Diego, but also because we're approaching Labor Day, which I guess is widely accepted as the end of summer. So for live music, you're either heading to the Casbah for a metal Anti-Monday League with Garth Algar in the headline position, or you're going to Soda Bar for the all-female Spokane act Mama Doll. Either show will be great if you need your ears tickled this Monday night.
