It's time for our first SoundDiego LIVE party of 2018 and, of course, we have to kick it off at the Casbah in honor of their anniversary month. We've got a stellar lineup featuring the Magnificent, Thee Allyrgic Reaction, and Bad Kids --and like always, the whole thing is free so you've got to come hang out with us. Around town, the White Buffalo returns to the Observatory (check out our interview), Teros Gallery in North Park hosts a show with Sunwatchers, and Ken Club tries to get you in the mood for Mardi Gras with the Amandas, Zzymzzy Quartet, and Euphoria Brass Band.
