San Diego Shows–Thursday, Dec. 31
You can still check out our fairly comprehensive NYE guide, but if you didn’t get tickets to one of those giant, over-indulgent parties or that just isn’t your style, then here’s where you need to be: PLAN A: NoBunny, The Atoms, The Kabbs, Jungle Fever @ Ken Club. The headliner is what happens when Rock ’n’ Roll High Schoolmeets Donnie Darko—a randy Oakland pervert playing garage-pop often dressed in nothing more than his skivvies and a rather disturbing bunny mask. And show up early for Jungle Fever, the new project featuring former members of Wild Weekend. PLAN B: Punk Bunny, Bostitch of Nortec Collective, DJ Miss Lady D @ Beauty Bar. Speaking of bunnies and perverts, Punk Bunny frontman Luigi Sandoval is like the gay version of Peaches singing family-friendly gems like “Heavy Load” and “Bromance” over ’80s-inspired electro and female backup singers. PLAN C: Sweet and Tender Hooligans, Blasphemous Guitars @ The Casbah. No one to kiss at midnight? A Smiths cover band might be just the thing for you. BACKUP PLAN: The Drowning Men @ Hensley’s Flying Elephant.
and then there’s The Shamey Jays, at it again along with Joey Harris and The Mentals.
Watch out, now.
