Tennis is one of those bands that I really love and try to catch whenever they return to town. They've played the Casbah numerous times and the Irenic, too, but tonight they're in Solana Beach with their Solo in Stereo tour. With Matt Costa opening, it will be a night of dreamy indie-pop that'll make for a perfect Sunday night. Meanwhile, the Casbah welcomes Rhymesayers rapper and producer Grieves from Seattle and Soda Bar welcomes Bells Atlas, "a surreal blend of R&B, psychedelia, jazz and pop." If you'd like to catch an early show, head to the Whistle Stop for one of the most talked about bands in San Diego at the moment, the Color Forty Nine.
