I live in a household with some diehard fans of "The Simpsons," so I had to chuckle when I saw that Okilly Dokilly were coming to the Soda Bar. The Ned Flanders lookalikes play metal -- "the only Nedal band in the world" -- and fans love them, so this one is super close to selling out so if you wanna catch them, get your tickets early or they could be gone by the time doors open tonight (read the SoundDiego interview with the band here). Meanwhile, rap-rock boy band Juice play the Voodoo Room at House of Blues, electronic duo Light Asylum escape Brooklyn's cold winter for a show at the Whistle Stop, and Lou Niles hosts another In Your Neighborhood at the Pour House in Oceanside with Sights and Sages.
