This weekend has some amazing shows, and despite Hamilton Leithauser already being sold out at the Casbah, you still have options to make for a great Saturday night. At Soda Bar, join a couple of our favorites as Mona and July Talk co-headline an awesome night of music, or you might head to the Observatory and hope they still have some tickets left for Devendra Banhart, who doesn't make it to San Diego very often. The Montalban Quintet keep things swingin' at Bar Pink, Music Box offers a Zep and Stones tribute night and Dave Stamey plays AMSD at Sweetwater High.
