Sounds Like San Diego: May 9

On this fine Mother's Day, treat your cool mom to some great live music

Tonight is full of classics. From the avant-garde performance of "Shadowlands" by the Residents at the Belly Up to X and Los Lobos sharing the stage at the Observatory, this Mother's Day offers plenty of fun to share with your cool mom. Of course, Gator By the Bay and Cinco De Mayo are pretty awesome choices by day, too. Other possibilities include MC Yogi at Casbah, Four Tet at Music Box, and A Wilhelm Scream at Soda Bar.
