About SD Bands

This site is very much a work in progress. Its goal is to find every musical act playing in San Diego over the next week and add two of their top songs to both Spotify and YouTube playlists. I made it because I am out of touch with the San Diego music scene, and I liked the idea of having a playlist I could use to discover new artists. Tickets for big artists are expensive! A lot of these smaller shows are less than $30.
