Show Announcement-SD

Queen Jane

Posted on by Amanda

The City of Angels own Joey Ryan is coming down to visit us San Diego folk for a night at Lestats West with the great Gregory Page. This show is definitely worth coming out to see. Besides, who can resist the musical stylings of Gregory Page? Be sure to get there early as the venue has a habit of getting packed when Mr. Page comes to play!

It should also be noted that Gregory Page is also playing on the acoustic stage at Indie Fest tomorrow. Also, look to Kristen’s weekly show blog to know when Joey Ryan is playing L.A. (because I know I’m not the only one who travels up there on occasion).

However, if you come on out to Lestats tonight to say hi and see these guys play you won’t have to catch them on a later date. Besides, its a nice night to fall in love with a new musician or two!

Hooray for Upcoming Events

I just found out last night that The Silent Comedy is playing a show at The Belly Up on June 6th with Mumford and Sons for a grand total of $8! You can find all the information you need here but I suggest you act fast. It sounds as though this will sell out within the week. Get your tickets now! This will be an amazing show at a snazzy venue.

Love,

My Apologies

Hi Cool Cats!

I realize I have been off the radar for awhile (I blame the weather for getting me sick!) and I feel like I’ve been letting down the SD scene. To be honest, I haven’t really heard of much of anything going on this week. I can tell you that everyone and their mother has decided to have a show this Saturday. I’ll get to that in a minute…

Tonight: Nothing offhand but there is a $5 show at the Casbah so you can’t really go wrong there…

Friday: Bad Religion @ House of Blues San Diego

Saturday: Patrick Norton @ Soma @7:00  $8
~Sight and Sound featuring- The Softlights, Shapes of Future Frames, Beat Panther, Gayle Skidmore and DJ Soo Cal $10 (or free before 7:30) @ Queen Bee’s in North Park
~Mr. Mustard, Wild Child (Doors concert recreation), and Have a Cigar @ The Belly Up $16 or $18 at door (this is a staff pick show!)
~River City @ Tin Can Alehouse $3
~Rio and Still Ill (cover bands!) @ The Casbah $10

Sunday: Nothing again. Consider it a day of rest 🙂
Hopefully I will have a full schedule for you next week! I can already tell you there are a bunch of shows coming up! Indie Fest featuring Endoxi, Gregory Page, and Metric on the 27th (with indie films screening on the 26th) as well asBamboozle on the 27th and 28th with AFI and Something Corporate as well as The Silent Comedy record release on April 2nd! But don’t worry, I’ll have it out in a nice format so you can read it!

Support!

Posted on by Amanda

Alright folks. I’m attempting to make up for another failure today. School is running me into the bare bones. Super not cool.

So, I’m here asking you to support my favorite local band The Silent Comedy! They are about to drop a new record and need all the support and love they can get. It’s a very cool system that a lot of new musicians are taking to. The more you give, the more you get! Check it out, check them out and come to their shows next week on March 10th/11th.

Until next time.

Fail!

Posted on by Amanda

Alright my fellow SD folks. I totally dropped the ball today and I apologize for it. I’ve had a productive weekend and a busy day back in reality. I don’t know of any shows this week offhand to post about but I will do my darndest to research and see what is out there tomorrow.

I do know there are some snazzy events coming up next week and the week after which I will be sure to relay to you! I am very much looking forward to that.

Should you get bored and decide to do your own research about what is up and coming, check out the Casbah, SD Reader, CityBeat, or The Belly Up Tavern (something I should have mentioned earlier!)

Some things to keep in mind:

March 10/11- The Silent Comedy and Transfer at The Casbah

March 12- Get Back Loretta at Soma

March 13- Voices in Wonderland at The Onyx downtown (It’s Alice in Wonderland themed and a must go!)

I’ll be sure to update with more as it comes my way. As always, if you know of anything or just want to talk, be sure to leave a comment or send us an email at localmusicnation@gmail.com.
