Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 6/10-6/16

There’s nothing like the bliss that comes from seeing a band you love take the stage and kick some ass. What’s rough to deal with is the comedown from the show high and the subsequent withdrawals that begin to take place. Such has been my Monday after last week which was filled with Semi Precious Weapons kicking ass at the Belly Up and Neon Trees and The Active Set rocking out at a high school stadium in Murrieta. Bliss! We have some great bands in town this week like Cyndi Lauper at Humphreys, Dead Feather Moon and The Tilt at the Del Mar Rock On stage, and Free Energy at the Casbah on Sunday. More below!

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 11/14-11/20

Happy Monday! And what a happy Monday it is indeed. Tonight I’m trekking up to LA to see Little Hurricane and The Silent Comedy at The Bootleg Theater. However, the highlight of this month for me was on 11.11.11. Yours truly spent Friday night in LA and saw William Beckett open for Jack’s Mannequin. It was a wonderful night for me and I spent my Saturday recovering from the drive home in the rain.

Once you get past a slow start to the week, there are lots of options for your entertainment this week. Enjoy!
