March 17, 2025

Mondays, man. Like a seagull eyeing your fries, they come for you whether you're ready or not. But we are adding a little St. Paddy’s luck to help your Monday give you something to look forward to—DoSD is co-presenting Orgōne & Seapoodle at Music Box on 3/27, and we’re making it a party. Expect deep funk, psychedelic surf grooves, and yes, we’ll be there. Even better? We’re giving away a pair of tickets. Enter now, then come vibe with us in person.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • True crime diehards, consider this your excuse for a little road trip up the coast—Crime Junkie: Life Rule #10 Tour is hitting Peacock Theater on 4/5, and we’ve got a pair of tickets up for grabs. Ashley & Brit are serving up a brand-new, never-before-covered case. Enter now—no alibi needed.*

  • Twenty years ago, Menos El Oso rewired indie rock brains with off-kilter riffs and lyrics that hit way too hard at 2AM. Now, Minus the Bear is bringing it back live at The Observatory on 10/8. Consider this your official heads-up—tickets won’t wait.

  • Dust off your leather jacket and cue the reverb—The Raveonettes are bringing their signature fuzzed-out, noir-kissed rock to Music Box on 9/24. Dreamy, dirty, and drenched in feedback, it’s the kind of show that lingers. Tickets drop Friday.

  • If garage rock had a royal family, The Detroit Cobras would be holding court in a dive bar. Their raw, soul-soaked covers hit harder than your favorite band's originals, and they’re bringing the heat to Casbah on 5/23.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Rebirth Brass Band, Tea Leaf Green, The Teskey Brothers, Rotimi, Sickick, and more!

THIS WEEK

🍀 St. Patrick's Day at The Disco

Today @ ​Good Night John Boy (4PM)

Green beer? Over it. But St. Patrick’s Day at The Disco? Now we’re talking. Good Night John Boy is keeping the glitter and Guinness flowing all day, so pace yourself—this party’s got legs. Specials, beats, and dancing await. .

🎵 Jason Eady

Tomorrow @ Casbah (8:30PM)

No fluff, no frills—just damn good songwriting. Jason Eady brings his sharp storytelling and back-porch country sound to the stage, where every song feels like a well-worn tale passed down over whiskey.

⭐️ RUPAUL: House of Hidden Meanings

Wednesday @ The Observatory (6PM)

RuPaul is bringing wisdom, wit, and a little werk to SD with House of Hidden Meanings—part memoir, part masterclass, all fabulous. Expect stories, shade, and life lessons straight from the queen herself. If you’re not in the room for this one, well… sashay away from your regrets.

Thursday @ Music Box (8PM)
