Watch out Kelly Clarkson—San Diego’s about to produce the next American Idol star!
I know at least 3 people in San Diego that down-right deserve to let their vocals loose on stage in Hollywood. But actually trying out and facing the judges seems a bit too daunting for the typical karaoke-trapped local star.
I […]
If you like to listen to internet radio… listen up.
That’s the Sound of Silence, and not in a Simon and Garfunkel kind of way, but rather in protest of the new high music royalties for Internet radio, established by the Copyright Royalty Board in March which could well put many small, non-commercial stations out of business– […]

There was a mysterious hype about a possible Britney Spears show in San Diego last night. My curiosity wouldn’t let me not go. I’m really not a big fan—never was, probably never will be; but out of all the concerts in San Diego, this was not a “comeback” performance to miss. Lucky enough for me […]

I can’t wait for the summer concert series to start up at the Del Mar Fairground. I’m not a huge fan of broken-down rides, smelly animal shows, or losing all my money betting on horses that never win during the Fair and Racetracks— but the Del Mar Fairground does rock awesome concerts. I think the […]

The last day of January, I called my friend Ben to see if he wanted to have some drinks, and although he was not inclined, he had a great idea. The next night, a couple of his high school friends were headlining 710 Beach Club in Pacific Beach, with their band Rock Dirty Raw. He […]
All-girl pop punkband Rocket is playing a show February 2nd at The Casbah.
Looks like a fun show. According to the press release, the band mixes 60s girl group innocence with 70s decibel damaging Sunset Boulevard beat and 80s glam wham… I checked out the website, and their sound kinda reminds me of a modern version of […]
If you missed the grand opening of the expansion of the Museum of Contempory Art, Thursday is a great time to head down to the Museum for the very popular Thursday Night Thing (TNT). You won’t want to miss Grand Ole Party, one of San Diego’s up and coming bands.

A few weeks ago I attended the Cracker/Camper show at the Belly Up Tavern in Solona Beach. It was an awesome show. I also mentioned a blurb about the Campout…

When was the last time anyone heard anything about Cracker or Camper Van Beethoven? For those asking themselves who, or what they are, let me simply say they are a band. Two bands to be exact–one born from the love of the sea from La Jolla to Pismo to Santa Cruz, and one that became […]
