San Diego Shows–Sunday, November 29
PLAN A: Lualta, The Shambles, Skelpin, The Shamey Jays, The Canton Mudders @ The Casbah. A great lineup of local acts, this is also a release show for power-popsters The Shambles’ first album in nine years. And judging by the advance copy I got, these vets can still play with gusto. PLAN B: Them Hills, Neal Morgan @ Soda Bar. I wouldn’t imagine that there’s a huge, untapped indie scene in Nevada City, Calif. (claim to fame: one of the best-preserved mining towns of the old West). But Them Hills are a gem unto themselves (91X and 94.9 should really give “All Aboard” a spin) that make me think there might be something else in Nevada City besides old buildings. BACKUP PLAN: “Too Many Creeps” feat. DJ Mario Orduno @ Whistle Stop.
Remember when the Ken Club was called Hipsters? Me neither:
OTHER COOL STUFF:
Long Live Logos, Dynamite Walls, Polaris at Noon, Entice @ Radio Room.
“Brew & View”-The Who’s Quadrophenia with DJ Creep.
Serengeti Rocks, Blacklist Alumni, Our Dear Friends @ Ruby Room.
