Sounds Like San Diego: November 18

As we approach the end of November and are just around the corner from the holidays, you might find the music listings shrinking but find yourself busier than ever. Holiday parties, fashion, art and shopping events, and random excuses to meet and eat and drink all fill our schedules, but the music is still here for you, San Diego. Tonight, Joanie Mendenhall plays a free show at West Coast Tavern, an all local bill rocks the Casbah, and Mark Mallman, who recently performed his epic 78-hour-long song "Marathon 3," plays an early show at the Ruby Room.
