• Tickets Still Available For (Some) Mike Ness Shows at The Coach House

  Social Distortion lead singer and Orange County favorite son Mike Ness is playing six solo dates at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano in December. As you might expect, several of those dates are already sold out: Dec. 6, 9, 10 and 19. But the good news, for the non-math whizzes reading, is that means tickets are still up for grabs for two shows: Dec. 14 and 20. Tickets, and info on his various opening acts, are available through The Coach House.

• On Sale This Week: Mike Ness, Not Much Else

  It's a light week for show announcements, what with the holiday and all--but we do have Mike Ness at the Glass House on Dec. 21, following closely on the heels of his Dec. 6, 9, 10, 14, 19 and 20 shows at the Coach House (of which only the Dec. 14 date is not yet sold out). So much Mike Ness. So many houses. December's going to be a great month.Tickets are on sale now, and $30. Beyond that, we've got Robben Ford at the Coach House, and I think that's about it. Happy shopping! Yay consumerism!

• Three Awesome, Wildly Different 'Pretty in Pink' Covers

  ​The Psychedelic Furs, in concert Saturday at the House of Blues in Anaheim, have been together for more than 30 years (albeit with a nine year hiatus between 1991 and 2000), and produced seven studio albums. But let's face it, what they're still most known for is their 1981 song "Pretty in Pink," which inspired the title of the iconic 1986 John Hughes-penned, Molly Ringwald-starred movie of the same name (and featured a re-recorded version of the song on the soundtrack).
