Here on The Muffin, we often promote our favorite venues across the country and really keep our ears to the ground so we can bring our readers constant updates on upcoming shows and events we recommend. In all of my personal referrals for shows and venues over the years, I cannot say that I have come across such an amazing venue with such a stellar line-up in one week as the Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA for the first week of November.
Sunday, November 1st : Kicking off the week in a philanthropic manner, the Belly Up is host to the SurfAid International Earthquake Relief Fundraiser with The Mattson 2 and a premier of “The Lost Prophets.” (as below). For Tickets to this event – - – Click Here

Monday, November 2nd : Minus The Bear takes the stage with Antlers and Twin Tigers. We here at the Muffin are jittery, Indian-style seated Kindergartners waiting for the new MTB album, so this should be an excellent showcase of some new material.

Tuesday, November 3rd : One of the hottest new bands and live acts of 2009, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros storm the Belly Up with guests The Deadly Syndrome and Family of the Year. This night promises to be one of Pabst tall cans, singing and dancing and a potential post-show dip in the ocean. Who’s with me?
