Our mission is to bring our listeners a variety of local San Diego music and let you know when you can go out and see those bands live and in the flesh. Though we do suggest you wash hands before handling musicians.
Hear band, love band, see band. Support local music!
We're also now on twitter! Check us out @nowwithsound for our occasional musings and live show alerts.

You want variety? You gets variety! This week we delve into four very different-sounding bands with "Counterfeit" by Drew Andrews who is at the Casbah with Boomsnake + Writer and Metrofique on Wed., Abandon The Raft's "Knife" at Soda Bar on Thurs., "Ninjas With Lasers" by The All Wait at Beauty Bar on Fri. with Echo Echo and Eclipse 79, and finally "Georgia X" to signal the triumphant return of Creedle to the Casbah on Sat. with Upsilon Acrux and Rats Eyes! I, for one, will not miss Creedle regardless of how many laser-armed sharks you put in my path!

The Casbah starts it's 21st Anniversary month with 4 incredible, mostly-local shows. Get down there and support your local bands or SUFFER! All four of these shows are only 5-bucks at the door. Try to find a better deal, we dare you. We have "Ghost of Python" from Archons who start us off on Sunday with Lord Howler and Of The Horizon. Then we have "Who Ganked My Dank" from Grammatcial B who debuts on Monday with Addiquit, Microphone Mike, D-Pain, and Sex Mannequin for an all hip hop, all local night. Tuesday brings us Boyscout, Drug Wars and Knives!, we have their track "My Friends Are So Kick Ass". And finally we bring you "It Burns" from The Long And Short Of It who play Wednesday with Spider Fever, and Life Deposits. Four great shows for $5 at the Casbah. What a way to start off 2010 right!

It seems that variety is some sorta spice--at least that's the word at the street market. So this week we have four bands that sound nothing like each other: Get Back Loretta, Bartender's Bible, Japanese Sunday, and The Locust. All four bands have shows this week so get check out their web sites and get your ass out to the see 'em!

Ok, so there was a slight delay. But never fear, you can't stop this party bus. Not with a thousand rabid chickens.
This week we've got for your listening pleasure The Swedish Models, Wild Weekend, Rich White Males, and Grand Ole Party. All these bands are playing this weekend so check out their links for info and whatnot. Support local music or else!

This week Behind The Wagon plays a Razorcake benefit, Nautical Disaster will probably group-hug Tim Pyles, The Prayers hang ten, and Nuclear Tomorrow punch us in the face with truth. Not a bad way to spend Americas gluttony week.
