Men shave your beards and ladies grab a sharpie because everyone needs a mustache to get into El Dorado tonight. In an effort to engage their many die-hard fans and to help fund what's going to be an amazing record, The Silent Comedy is hosting Mustache Mayhem this evening. There will be drink specials, raffle prizes (from sezio), and a photobooth to submit your mustache picture, which will be included in their album packaging. Here's the breakdown and a couple photos that have already been submitted. See you at El Dorado tonight.

Put your worries to rest, The Donkeys have sent word home that they are alive and well on their month-long tour with Magnolia Electric Company. It's good to hear from four of San Diego's finest gentlemen, and we'll be excited to welcome them back to an SDMA nominations for Best Rock Album and Album of the Year for their latest, Living on The Other Side. Congratulations boys!

I've been made fun of a lot lately for running this song into the ground. My excuse: The Faint is coming to Street Scene this year! Actual reason: I'm obsessed. The line up is pretty insane though, check it out here.

The fairgrounds are finally done with American Idols. This late summer lineup took me by complete surprise as I saw kicking off the first show, this Friday, is G. Love & Special Sauce. With his mellow, but harsh attitude, his live show should be very entertaining. Also, due for an appearance in August, with their infamous stage show, is the Flaming Lips. Local favorite Pinback will also be playing in late August and mellow sylist Pete Yorn shows up in September.
The most amazing part about these shows is that they are all free. Just be at the fairgrounds right when the last race finishes, which is usually around 7 PM, and stick around for the tunes.
Lineup is below.
Fri, July 24th - G. Love & Special Sauce
Fri, July 31st - The Wailers
Fri, Aug 7th - The Airborne Toxic Event
Fri, Aug 14th - Common Sense
Sat, Aug 15th - The Flaming Lips
Fri, Aug 21st - Pinback
Sat, Aug 22nd - Steel Pulse
Fri, Aug 28th - Super Diamod
Fri, Sept 4th - Pete Yorn
Sun, Sept 6th - Roots, Rock, Reggae Festival feat. Ziggy Marley
