2014 is still several weeks from being over, but around SoundDiego, we know that the end of the year comes fast and everyone gets so busy with events and family and friends and life that we are blowing out U-31 in November for our final SoundDiego LIVE Platinum event of the year, this time with the amazing Mariachi el Bronx. To see such an incredible band for FREE in such an intimitate venue is sure to be nuts, so if you already RSVP'ed, get there early because it will fill up fast and once we're at capacity, we will have to turn people away. With Pounded By the Surf and Shady Francos opening, you can't go wrong, and, of course, Robin Roth of 91x is always the hostess with the mostest. Of course, not everyone in San Diego can make it, so if you're looking for alternatives, Yamfest takes place at Stronghold in Barrio Logan and is an all-ages party for your favorite punk rock and rock bands.
