Five Awesome San Diego Bands Witnessed at the North Park Music Thing

In the daytime, various panels and talks were held on the state of the music industry at the Lafayette Hotel; at night, local bands performed at showcases throughout North Park. It kind of made me wish we had something similar in Orange County.

Noise rock/chill wave reminiscent of supposed cohorts the Dum Dum Girls, this is San Diego's hipster best.
