I can't sit here and tell you there aren't brilliant shows around town on Friday (like Steve Earle at the Belly Up or Brian Wilson and Rodriguez at Humphrey's or the Burning of Rome at the Casbah), but it's our night to shine with another SoundDiego LIVEparty. This time we're heading to Ocean Beach to find long-lost friends who never leave OB and explore what kind of trouble we can get into at Gallagher's. Our very own Dustin Lothspeich and his band Diamond Lakes open the show, with the Verigolds and Hills Like Elephants rocking us out the remainder of the night. Tim Pyles of 91x is the host for the night, and we'll have a hosted happy hour from Belching Beaver Brewery on tap for all our friends who RSVP'd.
