Pop goes San Diego: King Stingray, Tropidelic, Trampled by Turtles and Shakey Graves
Live music, August 21-24, 2025
Shakey Graves as The Swede on Friday Night Lights.
King Stingray
Upcoming Event
King Stingray
- Thursday, August 21, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Casbah, 2501 Kettner Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: 21+
Co-founded by lead singer Yunupiŋu Yirrnja, the nephew of prominent Aboriginal musician Dr Yunupingu, King Stingray is an Australian band that plays a unique style of music they call Yolŋu surf rock, a genre that blends traditional Yolŋu melodies with funk and surf rock. Their music often features lyrics in both English and Yolŋu Matha, their traditional language, as heard on their sophomore full-length released last year, For the Dreams. Yirrnja recently announced that he has left the group, so this tour will feature new vocalist Ngalakan Wanambi, who sang with the band on a previous U.S. tour.
Tropidelic
Upcoming Event
Tropidelic and Shwayze
- Friday, August 22, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Music Box, 1337 India Street, San Diego
- Age Limit: 21+ / $25
Formed in Cleveland, Ohio, circa 2008, Tropidelic mixes multiple genres into a style that's a blend of reggae rock, hip-hop, and high energy funk. The band cites influences such as Sublime, 311, Pepper, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bad Brains, Mike Patton, Alborosie, Tom Morello, Parliament Funkadelic, and local heroes Slightly Stoopid. Known for party tracks such as “Floating,” “Falling Down,” and “Free Your Mind,” they’ve also collaborated with everyone from the Pharycde and Rittz to Palmer Squares and Tobyraps. Their eighth album Royal Grove was released last year. The bill includes Shwayze.
Trampled By Turtles and Shakey Graves
Upcoming Event
Trampled By Turtles and Shakey Graves
- Saturday, August 23, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Sound, 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: 21+
Upcoming Event
Trampled By Turtles and Shakey Graves
- Sunday, August 24, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Sound, 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: 21+
Duluth, Minnesota band Trampled By Turtles blends traditional bluegrass instrumentation with a more modern, sometimes rock-influenced, sensibility. With nearly a dozen albums released since forming in 2003, they’ve seen three of their albums reach number one on Billboard’s bluegrass chart, including 2010’s Palomino, which remained in that chart’s Top Ten for 52 consecutive weeks. The bill includes Austin, Texas singer-songwriter Shakey Graves, whose music blends blues, folk, country, and rock. Also known as an actor with a recurring role on Friday Night Lights as Swede, a party animal who tries to woo the coach’s daughter, the majority of his self-released debut album Roll the Bones features him playing solo.
