This week was kind of weird because we had the feeling of a holiday with Halloween on a Monday (but without the day off from work), so I don't know about you, but the weekend couldn't come soon enough. At the Casbah, everyone's favorite DIY band, King Khan & BBQ Show, will once again slay earholes of their adoring fans, while you can expect Nobunny to create a similar spectacle in his tighty whities at the Hideout (with Soft Lions along for their record release). '90s songstress Jill Sobule of "I Kissed A Girl" fame (long before Katy Perry ever sang the same lyric) will be at Brick 15 in Del Mar, and Pansy Division bring "gay rock" to Soda Bar. In other words, I couldn't be more happy that today is Friday.
