As San Diego's music scene continues to grow, it is important that we take cues from more established music cities such us Portland, Seattle or Austin. Seattle recently launched their decade-long Seattle City of Music plan after discovering the staggering effect live music has on their local economy. In Austin, Texas, where live music is also a billion dollar business, there has been a condo invasion in the downtown venue district. The documentary Echotone takes an inside peek at Austin's growing pains through the eyes of a few up and coming bands and record labels.
Check out the trailer below, and cruise over to Habitat House at 8pm on Wednesday to screen the film.

We caught Lord Huron's set up at UCSD this past spring and were blown away by their brand of up beat tropical-folk. The five piece is originally from Michigan, but currently resides in LA and will be making the trip south to headline Saturday night of Four Day Weekend. We couldn't be more excited! Grab your tickets to their show here (all ages, $10) and check out their fantastic Mighty EP and video for "The Stranger" below. Joining Lord Huron on November 12th will be Writer from San Diego and So Many Wizards from LA.
Purchase a four-night pass to Four Day Weekend for $30 dollars here, which gets you in to see bands like Real Estate, Peter Wolf Crier, Dirty Gold and Oregon Bike Trails!
