Sounds Like San Diego: August 9

So much live music, you may have a hard time choosing between Pinback or Mother Falcon

It's another great night of music. Earlier in the afternoon hang out where the surf meets the turf, bet on the ponies, then enjoy a live set by Zack and Rob, a.k.a. Pinback. The band is always great live, but they really shine at outdoor venues, so this one is going to be good. As always, the shows are free with paid track admission. After that, head south to the Casbah where Lightning Dust are headlining, head over to the Griffin to catch Tyson Motsenbocker. Over at the Soda Bar catch the 15-member Mother Falcon from Austin. There's no doubt that if you have a hankering for live music, San Diego has you more than covered tonight.
