This week is kind of exciting for us in San Diego because the Sunset Sessions rolls into town. Last year, I had a blast discovering some new bands and watching old favorite. Two of the three nights are completely sold out (I wouldn’t mind seeing NEEDTOBREATHE. Just sayin’) which is pretty stupendous. The rest of the week is kind of light but there’s a lot happing on Thursday. I wouldn’t mind seeing Sir Sly play again at the Hard Rock Hotel’s 207 Club. Fancy. And the week starts off right with New Politics and Jon McLaughlin. Take your pick.
