When we talk about classic San Diego bands, sometimes we keep a narrow view of history and forget about just how big and influential bands like Battalion of Saints were back in the day. Having been around in various iterations since 1980, tonight's Soda Bar show is super rare, so you're gonna wanna dust off your crusty punk gear and check it out. Meanwhile, at the Casbah, hometown feline fanatics Lion Cut celebrate a new record, and the Big Decisions play Sycamore Den's chill Sunday night. Lastly, if you missed LA's recently declared Morrissey Day, you can celebrate a couple of days late with Still Ill and a whole tribute night at Space.
