Sounds Like San Diego: February 18

What to do, what to do? While it appears Tuesday is thin on live music and leans more toward karaoke and comedy, the live acts that are performing are certainly worthy of your attention. At the Casbah, Public Service Broadcasting perform. Hailing from the UK, this electronic band weaves interesting samples of historical public announcements, radio broadcasts and other vocal tapes, then layers them with live instrument and mixing. They're slated to perform at South By Southwest next month, and their album doesn't drop until May, so I'd suggest this is one you want to see before they really break out on the scene. Meanwhile, Mother Falcon return to Soda Bar for their Tuesday residency. This multimember miniorchestra is getting national praise for its broad instrumentation while still packing a punch with their well-crafted pop songs. Tuesday night is looking alright after all.
