Pyles' July Show Supply

91x's Tim Pyles counts down the best shows in the month of July

Summertime in the city! Long and steamy nights with some live music is your prescription. Go see a show, support local and touring bands. Tell everyone we have the best burritos in the country -- I do! Did you know that is what local touring bands miss the most? The California Burrito! Lot's of great shows this month, so go see one! Here are my picks and suggestions for you, and thanks for reading.

July 3: Rebecca Jade & the Cold Fact, Birdy Bardot, the Midnight Pine, Erik Canzona & the Narrows, Creature & the Woods at the Casbah -- it's the Redwoods Revue; they are a local record label.

July 31: Lucy's Fur Coat at the Casbah! ’90s San Diego rock legends return again! Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots stole moves from LFC’s lead singer Charlie Ware back in the day; it was from a show at Bodie's that Scott saw Charlie perform and shortly thereafter he was using similar moves.

Have a night out and go see a show! We need you to go see more live music and stop hanging out at craft beer bars. I kid (sort of). Please support local music and we can be best friends!
