The Burning of Rome Ignite

The Burning of Rome return to San Diego for a show at Soda Bar

We're inching closer to Christmas and it is certainly a season of shopping and giving. San Diego's music scene has you covered with opportunities to buy gifts, like at the Holiday Bar-Zaar at Bar Pink, but also plenty of chances to give, with both a rock benefit and a rap benefit for Typhoon Haiyan. The rock benefit features Kelsea Little and many others at Shaper Studios in North Park or check out a killer lineup of national and local hip hop artists at Somewhere Loud, a fairly new warehouse spot near Old Town. Of course, if you're just ready to rock, head out tonight to see Lee Ranaldo and the Dust at the Casbah, or party hard with North County's the Burning of Rome at Soda Bar, who always seem to inspire bizarro spinny dancing from their fans and certainly aren't shy onstage with their wild performances.
