There are few musicians in San Diego that represent the legacy of rock and roll more than John Reis. The man also known as "Swami" has been involved in many projects throughout the years, including Drive Like Jehu and Rocket From the Crypt. So it was no surprise that, when his band Hot Snakes announced some local reunion shows, they sold out quite quickly. Tuesday night's Casbah tickets are highly coveted and you might have a hard time finding any for sale, but for the 250 fans that will be present, it's sure to be one of those shows that stays in local lore for a while to come. If you don't have tickets, fret not, there are other shows that might tickle your Tuesday, including Gold Fields at the Soda Bar, Tyga bringing some hip-hop to House of Blues, and the Knux performing at the Griffin.
