Details For Manu Chao Tonight In TJ (Tijuana), NOT San Diego

I'm getting a ton of hits today of people googling info about Manu Chao, so here's what's going on:

Manu Chao has cancelled the show at the Embarcadero on June 5 (tonight!)

The show is now being held at the Plaza de Toros Monumental (The TJ Bullring) TONIGHT!

Original tickets can be refunded at point of purchase, but since the new show and location is a completely separate promoter and venue and COUNTRY, you will have to buy a new ticket for tonight.

Tickets are only $22 and the service charge is $4.50. You can buy them on Ticketmaster here.

Tuesday Newsy Bits: Sports Club is back, etc

At the CityBeat Party on Friday, I had the chance to talk to Tony V from The San Diego Sports Club. The 30 day suspension ends this week and the venue will return to being a live music venue. This Friday is Sin Factory/Club de Sade with DJs, but it is expected that four bands will be playing on Saturday, including Four Minutes til Midnight and 300 Pounds. Tony explained that the bar is fighting not only for themselves, but for all venues in town. While the Sports Club is owned outright, most bars and clubs are rented, so the loss of revenue could've shut some of our favorite venues if the ABC, cops, and everyone else involved were able to just bulldoze through SDSC. More important to me on a personal level, was that Tony also acknowledged that he has a reputation for being an asshole and addressed it with me by saying that he took note and has made strides in being a more enjoyable person. As someone who was anti-Sports Club and anti-Tony for a while, I have to vouch for him and say that I think everyone should kiss and make up. Just give the venue another chance. And for bands looking to play, seems like the calendar is wide open, so start calling.

This really sucks. At least we have Morrissey on June 3rd to experience at the concerts at Bayside.
