Last night we bif farewell to Mrs. Magician, and tonight we once again say farewell to another San Diego group who will be calling it quits. Jackson Milgaten has turned all of his projects over the years to gold, so I would suggest that we just look forward to his next chapter instead of calling it a total goodbye, but in this formation, Cuckoo Chaos has toured, performed at local festivals and the music awards, and it will be sad to see them go. At press time, this show had just a few tickets left, so buy them in advance while you can. If you're too slow, Casbah hosts a great show with Get Back Loretta, The Heavy Guilt, The Palace Ballroom and Chess Wars, while Josh Damigo performs and hosts at his annual birthday show at Lestat's.
