Tomorrow night: Raveonettes, Be Your Own Pet @ The Casbah

God, I love San Diego. In New York, I’d have to stomach being in the back of the Bowery Ballroom to see this tour–in San Diego, I’ll enjoy it with 200 of my closest friends.

I’m less excited than most (the show is sold out, has been for a while), but plenty excited to see this.  I’ve got a review of Be Your Own Pet‘s second record in the works, and am just plain interested to see what all the fuss is about regarding the Raveonettes.

Initial returns on the Be Your Own Pet disc are marginal–I think they sound like a hyper-caffeinated Swami Records band–but I’m gonna give it the chance to grow on me.

Oh, here’s what Be Your Own Pet looks like. They’re pretty young. I’ll be scanning the crowd to see if  Chris Hansen has things under control.
