Sounds Like San Diego: Dec. 19

Friday night, the Casbah continues a tradition celebrating the birthday of Gary Shuffler as he transforms into David Bowie, or, rather, the leader of Ziggy Shuffledust & the Spiders From Mars. This is an epic night annually, and you would be hard-pressed to find a more fun way to spend a Friday night. For the all-ages set, SOMA has a superb lineup of local acts, while across town, you can catch the Loons at Til-Two, the Paper Thins at Tower Bar or the return of Where's the Band? at the House of Blues with Thrice's Dustin Kensrue and friends.
