I'm not going to lie: The closer we get to Thanksgiving, the fewer touring shows we're going to see here in San Diego, so you should really take advantage while you can. For example, the Psychedelic Furs are at the Belly Up Tuesday, and if you caught their set earlier this year at the Observatory, you know that the band still has it after all these years. Plus Max & the Moon opening is an extra treat, so make your way to the Belly Up for an awesome night of music. Meanwhile, the Casbah welcomes chillwave duoKeep Shelly in Athens, who we love because they're signed by Forest Family Records, the imprint of music blog Gorilla vs. Bear, and let's be honest, we believe in the power and tastemaking abilities of bloggers. At Soda Bar, you can catch Boy & Bear with locals Oh, Spirit! opening, and Radio Halloran hosts his local Tuesday at the Merrow. So, yes, there are still options, but they'll be fading soon -- so get out before everyone bunkers down for the holidays.
