--- Quote from: Oerdin ---  The place can be a bit pretentious at times with its "The only cool place in San Diego" theme but the music is good and the prices still aren't to bad.

Heh, that's cause The Casbah is the only cool place in town :)

I do't get to nearly enough shows these days, which is fine since most of the stuff coming through town doesnt entice me. Having to be up at 5:30 in the morning doesnt help in the "Staying out late" dept either.

The Reader is probably the best resource in town to find out local shows. No shame in reading it. Hell, thats where I hear about 90% of the shows I find out about.

to answer Oerdins question, I grew up, and still live in, Clairemont. I came up during the mid-late 90's punk rock rennesance, and practically lived at the old SOMA (Linda Vista, not Downtown...im not *that* old). As an aside, I can't stand the new SOMA. Must be an age thing...

Oerdin:
I saw Modest Mouse at SOMA Live off Sports Arena Blvd when they swung through town a few months ago.  The band rocked (even if they were a bit drunk) but SOMA just blows chunks.  They let all the little kids in so there's no alcohol and the place has about as much thought put into its layout and design as your average high school gym.  There's no place to sit and no ventilation so the room gets hotter then hell.  Just terrible.

Humprey's on the other hand is top notch as is the Starlight Bowl as well as the usual suspects with the big commercial places we all know about.

yipjumpmusic:
Don't forget the evil owner.  Pinback will tell you themselves, Rob especially at least I have noticed, though he talks more.  I mentioned it somewhere else...

Oerdin:
I hadn't heard anything about the owner.  Waht'd he do that was so bad other then build a horrid venue.
