Recommended Shows in San Diego April 8-14, 2013

The second week of April is filled with great musical happenings in San Diego. Many people are headed to that festival in the desert, but those who choose to stay in our cooler coastal climate will not be disappointed (musically). A closer look at the upcoming week reveals many shows of note...

Local H rocks Soda Bar on Tuesday, with Scott Lucas on the mend from being attacked recently in Russia...go see them perform and wish him the speediest of recoveries...Angel Olsen and Villages take the  stage at the Casbah...

On Wednesday The Evens, Ian MacKaye (Fugazi) and Amy Farina's indie pop band, play an early show at The Irenic (all ages)...LA quintet The Lonely Wild open for locals Barbarian at The Griffin...

Tin Can is the place to be on Thursday for hardcore rockers Pile (Boston) with Weatherbox slated as openers...

Dynamic singer/songwriter Kurt Vile headlines the Casbah on Friday playing songs from his new album Wakin on a Pretty Daze...highly recommended...

Seattle grunge band Mudhoney stops at the iconic Middletown venue for what promises to be a great show on Saturday with a new record in tow...

On Sunday Gayle Skidmore, Grant-Lee Phillips and Sean Watkins team for an intimate show at Lestat's...a perfect way to complete the weekend...Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears make an appearance on the USS Midway (invite only)...

Looks (and sounds) like a terrific week to me. Enjoy the great music in our beautiful city...
