Tonight brings the return of two monthly events: The Rumble at Bar Pink and Josh Damigo's Friends With Benefits show at Lestat's. Both nights have picked up their own respective following as the indie kids know they're gonna get a good free show month after month at Bar Pink and Josh Damigo's following knows he's always going to introduce them to talented singer/songwriters as well as charm through his own set. If neither tickles your fancy, lo-fi Times New Viking are at the Casbah, Bruno Mars hits the mainstage at the fair, and Signal Path return to San Diego, this time taking over Winston's. If you're in the mood for a daytime BBQ and some awesome for your afternoon, check out Tiltwheel and others over at the Tower Bar.
