The Labor Day holiday kinda pushed a hard brake on shows, but maybe it's just a little pause in major tours as people adjust back to work and the kids are all back in school. But there's still so much to do tonight, let's get on with it. At the Belly Up, Katchafire bring the heat and local act K.W.N. take the main stage at the Holding Company. The Casbah welcomes Oceanside's Pictographs and local alt-rock act [Tape] headline Soda Bar. It's a pretty good night to take a chance on local acts and belly up to an air-conditioned bar -- and hey, you just might find your next favorite band.
