Thursday, August 2nd: Grand Ole Party @ The Roxy
I am recommending Grand Ole Party again, and probably will continue to do so until more people pick up on them outside of San Diego. This show part of Filter Magazine’s Revenge of the Sunset Strip series, not exactly sure what that means, but this week’s up line also includes The Shys and Pop Levi.
