After several days of being closed, the Casbah is back open and kicks off their 22nd anniversary month with a local show. The whole month will be dedicated to great shows, with representation of San Diego's past, present and future. There still aren't a lot of touring bands coming through town just yet, but it's your time to experiment with your local scene. Analog Bar just started booking live music on Wednesday nights, so you can enjoy two sets by local songstress Gayle Skidmore, or head up to Che Cafe to see some of San Diego's young talents take the stage. There's indie, rock, blues and jazz tonight, so find your preference and get out on the town.
