Sounds Like San Diego: Sept. 11

El Tri perform at the Observatory North Park on Friday.

I couldn't be happier that the weekend is finally here. Do you ever notice how holiday weeks sometimes feel so long? Well, take a load off and enjoy some of the amazing music we have in town on Friday. At the Observatory, catch some rock en Espanol with El Tri, or head up to the Belly Up for the Dead Feather Moon record-release show. Mystic Braves will rock your socks off at the Casbah, and Idlehands play for your pleasure at Soda Bar. Elsewhere, the House of Blues Voodoo Room has a killer show with Seahaven, and North get heavy at the Merrow. There are great choices all over town this evening and all weekend, so soak up some sun and some waves, and polish it off with great live music.
