Like most people, I have a few select friends whose musical opinions I respect immensely. When these tastemakers all show up in my Facebook feed gushing about a musical act, I pay attention. So it has been for the past few months with regard to Jungle. One of my industry friends declared that "seeing Jungle never gets old," while another said, It gets better every show." The band performed at Coachella this year, and Monday are playing for San Diego at the Observatory North Park. There are still some tickets available, and this will probably be one of those shows you'll regret missing. Around town, old-school punkers Gang Green play at Soda Bar, while Katy Guillen & the Girls headline the Hideout, and DJ Artistic hosts another Hip-Hop Battle Bot at the Casbah.
