San Diego Shows–Wednesday, April 15
PLAN A: Vivian Girls, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Gary Wilson @ The Casbah. It remains to be seen if Brooklyn’s Vivian Girls can follow up their fetching debut with a similarly enjoyable LP. But for now, just soak in the harmonies before everyone gets too jaded. PLAN B: Animental, Bow + Arrow, Fortress of Amplitude, Kill Kill Kill @ Soda Bar. One thing’s for sure about Soda Bar: Whoever books shows there is into some pretty weird shit, and I like it. BACKUP PLAN: Crescendo, Lanterns, Jamuel Saxon @ Ruby Room. –Todd Kroviak
