Sounds Like San Diego: December 1

The Besnard Lakes head up San Diego's live-music action on Thursday

There are some seriously great shows around San Diego to kick off the month of December. At Soda Bar, the Besnard Lakes don't stop through town very often, so when they do, it's an occasion worthy of your attention. Meanwhile up at Brick 15, the amazing Gill Landry of Old Crow Medicine Show drops in for a solo stop and I can tell you after his Soda Bar show last year, he's totally worth the drive if this isn't in your neck of the woods. Casbah doesn't soften up for the season with a show by local favorites the Widows and Death Eyes, and British folksters Daughter make an appearance at the Observatory. For a little throwback action, head to the Holding Company for Crazy Town.
