San Diego Shows–Tuesday, Sept. 7
PLAN A: Stereo Total @ Tin Can Ale House. Quirky, playful and incredibly catchy, Berlin duo Stereo Total make bubbly electro-clash inspired by ’60s mods and French chanteuses like François Hardy. You probably won’t understand all their lyrics—they sing in German and French, as well as English—but you’ll likely get a kick out of their whimsical attitude. PLAN B: Plastic Made Sofa, Colony, Extinct Animals @ Soda Bar. Speaking of great international bands, Italy’s Plastic Made Sofa get feet tapping with bright pop-rock hooks. BACKUP PLAN: The Gories, Haunted George, Nice Smile @ The Casbah.
