I am at peak anxiety this election day. In 2016, I was at a Peter Hook show on election night, and I cannot describe how tense and emotional that show got. This midterm election, I'm gonna find a good show and try not to look at my phone. I'll probably end up at the Casbah to check out Keuning. This is the solo project of Dave Keuning, lead guitarist of the Killers. He's awesome and his record doesn't drop until January, but a couple singles have released and he'll be joined by his and our buddies the Nervous Wreckords. At Soda Bar, you can catch Red City Radio; Suffocation and Cattle Decapitation play a sold-out show at Brick By Brick; and rapper DUCKWRTH plays at the Loft at UCSD. I assure you, tonight is going to be a nail biter, so do yourself a favor: After you vote, skip the pundits, news, social media and the posturing, find a show -- and wait till the morning to find out how it went.
