Moon Hooch is back in San Diego on Wednesday. I feel like I could just stop there, because if you know, you know. But for those of you who don't, do not sleep on this band. Bringing all the positive energy of a marching band or second line, playing pop music covers, horn battling, all on the tiny stage of the Casbah -- this is one of the most entertaining shows you'll catch this month. You have to see it to feel it, and once you feel it, you'll go out of your way to catch them every time -- unless you're averse to happiness, joy, and completely letting loose. At Soda Bar, the indie rockers of From Indian Lakes take the stage, Jonny Lang is back at the Belly Up with the powerful vocalist Zane Carney as support, and the Office has a country Christmas party. Giddyup.
