Sounds Like San Diego: February 18

Tonight, Kristin Gundred of the Dum Dum Girls returns to San Diego. While never a native, she cut her teeth here on our humble scene and has produced some amazing music in every project she's touched. Catch the Dum Dum Girls tonight at the Casbah with other buzzworthy bands. If you're feeling like avoiding the wave, head up to the Loft at UCSD to catch Nicole Atkins and the Black Sea, get your country flavor on at the Ruby Room, or get the blood in your veins boiling with Lord Howler. Plenty of fantastic options for a Friday night if you ask me.
