This week might be a little quiet, as the whole music world seems to come to a halt leading up to Coachella, but you can still get out and discover something new and fun ... like indie rock band the 131ers, who aren't from too far away (i.e., Torrance), so maybe if you see them at Soda Bar, they'll be inspired to loop through San Diego with some frequency. I'm kinda down with Dream Burglar, who bring post-punk to Bar Pink and have rolled through town (with some notably cute merch, too, I might add). Those Darn Gnomes, meanwhile, don't want you to call them metal, and avant-garde jazz seems a little too soft, but whatever they want to call it, you're in for something quite unique at the Casbah if you decide to head there. We've also got the usual suspects around town tonight, so there's certainly lots of fun that can be found this Monday if you're willing to hunt around to find it.
