If you haven't been to Soda Bar in a while, you're definitely missing out. The City Heights club has been slaying with booking lately, and if you don't pay attention, shows like Anthony Green's tonight sell out before you even knew the show was happening. Frontman for bands like Circa Survive and Saosin, the performer brings the magic to the intimate space of Soda Bar (for two nights, actually, both of which are sold out). Meanwhile, Bayside play a rare acoustic show at the Irenic, Howlin Rain bring Bay Area rock to the Casbah, and "hippie rockers" Daring Greatly play the Belly Up.
