Tonight is the second night with the Donkeys at the Casbah, and if you missed it last night, you missed out on quite an evening full of great music, sunny tunes and dozens of inflatables. They're joined by Blank Tapes and Ditches this time, and it promises to be another great one. If you're feeling like really exploring today, head up to Harrah's Resort SoCal for Vance Joy. He's joined by one of my favorite artists, Mondo Cozmo, who it just seems I'm sadly destined to keep missing. If you wanna keep it cool and local, Bird Park in the SoNo area hosts Jake Najor & the Moment of Truth while Schizophonics heat up Bar Pink.
