San Diego Shows – Friday, Feb. 13
PLAN A: The Dogs, Wild Weekend, Vaginals, The Anasazis @ The Casbah. Early ’70s drop-outs The Dogs are kicking ass and taking names once again. Straight outta the Motor City, The Dogs come from the same cesspool as original kick-out-the-jams motherfuckers MC5 and The Stooges. PLAN B: Deadbolt, Northern Towns, The Postals, The Bugs @ Ken Club. If you miss Lux Interior already, fill that gaping void in your blackened heart with Deadbolt’s reverb-drenched tales of horror. And make sure to catch Northern Towns, whose updated take on British mod-punk will induce heavy Guinness binges. PLAN C: Cattle Decapitation, Psyopus, Gigan, Book of Black Earth @ Jumping Turtle. Psyopus may be opening this show, but make no mistake—the dissonant New York tech-metal foursome is one of the most frighteningly original bands in the country. You shall bow to their brain-scrambling shrieks of fury.
