We hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving with people that matter in your lives, and while we hope that you enjoy the beauty of San Diego today, know that this Friday night has plenty of awesome shows to catch. At the Casbah, X kicks off the first of two nights with Mike Watt and the Secondmen. Considering the band performed twice this spring at the much larger Observatory North Park, these are very special and intimate shows, not to mention these are the first shows with Billy Zoom after he was diagnosed and treated for cancer this year. Meanwhile at the the Music Box, Glassnote Records' Robert DeLong performs at Music Box with opener Coleman Hell, who we loved earlier this summer at Quartyard. Copeland and Eisley have a sold-out show at the Irenic, Guttermouth is going to get crazy at Soda Bar, and Nashville Pussy get gritty at the Hideout. All the way down the line, there are great options for the night, so get out, be safe, and catch some live music this Friday night.
