Pop goes San Diego: Ty Segall, Los Straitjackets, Oddisee
Live Music October 9-15, 2025
From the Los Straitjackets' video for "Hombre"
Ty Segall
Upcoming Event
Ty Segall
- Thursday, October 9, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Belly Up Tavern, 143 S. Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach
- Age Limit: 21+
Ty Segall helped popularize the early 2000s California garage rock scene with bands like Fuzz and GØGGS, as well as with his prolific solo output of studio albums, EPs, and singles. He’s known for blending raw, distorted guitar with catchy melodies, evolving from his lo-fi beginnings to make more sophisticated guitar-driven music centered around psychedelic solos and distortion. Citing David Bowie, KISS, and Marc Bolan among his influences, his most popular songs are evocative tracks such as “My Lady’s On Fire,” “Feel,” and “Break A Guitar.” He’s touring in support of his seventeenth studio album Possession, released in May.
Los Straitjackets
Upcoming Event
Los Straitjackets
- Saturday, October 11, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Casbah, 2501 Kettner Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: 21+
Known for wearing lucha libre Mexican wrestling masks during their performances, Los Straitjackets incorporate synchronized moves and a distinct sense of humor with high-energy concert antics. Using the music of the Ventures, The Shadows, Link Wray, and Dick Dale as a jumping-off point, the band blends a variety of influences, including garage rock, surf, and rockabilly, and has a unique style characterized by reverb-drenched guitars. They’re also recognized for their collaborations with artists such as British pop-rock icon Nick Lowe, as well as rockabilly star Big Sandy of the Fly-Rite Boys, Mavericks singer Raul Malo, and Chicago bluesman Eddy Clearwater.
Oddisee
Upcoming Event
Oddisee
- Wednesday, October 15, 2025, 7 p.m.
- Soma, 3350 Sports Arena Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
The music of Oddisee is characterized by live instrumentation and soul, gospel, and regional influences. As a prolific independent artist, he releases both vocal and instrumental music. Born to Sudanese and African-American parents, he’s known for political commentary in his literate and thoughtful lyrics, often exploring themes of personal struggle and social justice, all while choosing to omit profanity from his music in order to expand its appeal and broaden his audience. His collaborations include a diverse array of artists such as the hip-hop group Diamond District, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Lecrae, Talib Kweli, J-Live, Joey Badass, and various projects on the Mello Music Group label.
