Sounds Like San Diego: November 16

Speedy Ortiz make their long-awaited return to San Diego Thursday

There are many reasons to be enthusiastic about this Thursday night's options, but call me a little biased if three of those reasons are at the Casbah. Tera Melos is exciting enough as a headliner, but I super extra love Speedy Ortiz and am so glad they're back in town, but then throw in Miss New Buddha --featuring members of Meraki, Weatherbox, and Big Bad Buffalo -- and you have quite a triple-header. That doesn't mean that other spots aren't hot tonight, too, because Chad VanGaalen is at Soda Bar, Gryffin plays the Observatory, and Ariel Pink plays the Belly Up. On the local tip, Jesse LaMonaca headlines the Merrow, the Heavy Guilt play up north at Pour House, and Bit Maps play Space.
