So, back in the day, San Diego's music scene was awesome enough to warrant its own TV show on one of the major networks. So late every Thursday and I think Sunday night, there would be the Show Fox Rox hosted by some cocky white guy and his slightly larger counterpart who sits in a music scene office of some sort and tosses out music trivia. But that's not the point of it. The point of the show was to announce major local shows around San Diego and showcase live performances. Sadly, it has since gone off the air, but the link a I gave you guys is a youtube collection of a pretty good amount of the live performances.
And these aren't all small acts. They got Aqualung, The Go! Team, The Fiery Furnaces, Maroon 5, TV on the Radio, Ben Kweller and countless other acts that have since gotten bigger.
Of course, there are also the San Diego Acts like Noise Ratchet, Slightly Stoopid, Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, My American Heart, No Knife and of course Switchfoot.
So yeah, sorry this just was a list of links. I leave you with a band with a cello off Conor Oberst's label known as Cursive.
