There are some solid shows in San Diego tonight for any musical taste. Over at the Casbah, Justin Pearson brings his project, Retox, to the stage along with a face-melting lineup. On the mellow side of the spectrum, the Fray and Scars on 45 perform at the House of Blues, while Exene Cervenka of the legendary rock band X appears at the Shakedown. Mary Jane's Underground has a solid lineup with Trouble In The Wind and the Paragraphs, and Rob Crow's band the Devfits takes over the Whistle Stop with some fun Devo and Misfits mashups.
