Hopefully you get some time off this holiday season and maybe that even means your Sunday can truly be a funday with plenty of live music to whet your appetite for aural pleasure. You can catch Jared & the Mill at the Casbah. With strong harmonies that might harken to a certain Mumford band, these guys from Phoenix assure a great time. Meanwhile, Slow Magic and Giraffage rock out at the Observatory, while Soda Bar gets some punk rock angst with Littler. It's also a special night at the Belly Up with For The Sender, where local musicians join forces to sing songs inspired by actual love letters. And, last but certainly not least, Motley Crue perform their final tour with a stop at Viejas Arena.
