Things To Do In San Diego: June 3-5, 2011

It's almost 4 am Friday morning. After a full day in north county and running around record store hopping to Spin and Lou's and then going to Sunset Sessions followed by the Casbah, I still had to get these listings done before sleep and head back up to Sunset Sessions in too few hours. To be completely honest and selfish, I was really tempted to only post one listing for today...my showcase at Eleven. I'd love for it to become a consistent monthly showcase of great new music as I've been able to see or be part of other successful nights in San Diego, like The Rumble or seeing Pyles' Anti-Monday League grow. However, I know that the reason you take the time to check back into this site week after week or day after day is because even though I have my personal biases, I try and post a complete view of music happenings in San Diego. That being said, I also get the benefit of posting whatever I want. So tonight, there's this:
