It's time for our first SoundDiego LIVE party of the year, and this time around, we're going north to Pour House Oceanside. We've admired from afar the ambitious booking and faith in the fact that North County fans don't always want to drive south for their live-music fix. We've lined up LA's James Supercave, and locals Aviator Stash and Los Shadows to round out the night. Find some friends, carpool up, and let's have a kick-ass Friday night (the guest list is now closed, but the party is free; entrance is subject to capacity). Around town, Transfer reunite for a sold-out show at the Casbah, the English Beat play the first of two nights at the Belly Up, and Oregon's "post-Americana" band Larry & His Flask return to Soda Bar.
