It's a blood moon Friday, there's a lunar eclipse (though not viewable from our side of the globe), and we are ready for some serious twinning. We hope that you join us for our mid-summer SoundDiego LIVE party at the very appropriate Air Conditioned Lounge in Normal Heights (the event is free and open to the public, but is subject to capacity; the guest list closed at 4 p.m.). We've been looking forward to Summer Twins and Twin Ritual for sometime, plus we've got an hour of hosted beer for our guests who RSVP to the event online beforehand. Around town, Mrs. Magician and Hideout join forces again at Soda Bar, original LA punks the Weirdos headline the Casbah, and Warbly Jets play a special show at Beach House in Pacific Beach.
