Sounds Like San Diego: Nov. 15

I know I've been talking about the weekend all week, but some come more-deserved and well-earned than others, and now the time is finally here, and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm stoked because Cold War Kids are playing the Observatory North Park. I still remember their first time playing the Casbah when they were supporting one of my favorite bands of all time, Two Gallants, and everyone in the crowd was just completely blown away by CWK's performance. All these years later, it's no surprise their show is sold out. If you didn't get tickets to that or the Babe Rainbow at the Casbah, you still have solid choices around town, including the always amazing Melissa Etheridge, who plays in Poway, or bathe in the awesome coolness of Black Belt Eagle Scout, who pwill be at the Che Cafe. You can also catch Mating Ritual at Soda Bar or the ever-popular Beatles vs. Stones night at Belly Up.
