There is a new addition to San Diego’s music scene coming next month. Mission Beach’s Wave House has taken over the site formerly known as Canes Bar and Grill to turn it into Sound Wave, a new indoor music venue.

New Boyz in San Diego Thursday
The New Boyz are performing live this Thursday, March 4th at Deco’s Nightclub in the Gaslamp District of Downtown San Diego. The duo’s hit song “You’re A Jerk” has catapulted the group into stardom. Certainly a show you don’t want to miss you can buy tickets online as the event will likely sell out.
Currently you can hear their follow up single “Tie me Down” featuring Ray J spinning on all the local stations. The groups debut album Skinnie Jeans and A Mic brings a colorful style into the hip hop atmosphere. But what is a “jerk?”
Plaid scarfs, skinnies (skinny jeans) and colorful clothing which mark the jerk movement are becoming increasingly popular nationally. People of all ages and backgrounds are getting into the addicting beats and catchy lyrics that are the New Boyz.
The duo Ben J and Legacy met as freshman in high school in Los Angeles. Originally part of a larger collective rap group the two split off to create their solo careers. After Legacy switched to a different high school the duo decided to combine forces.
Their fashion sense and hit song “You’re A Jerk”, which was called “pretty much perfect” by the New York Times have given them a unique identity. Read more

OFF THE BEATEN TRACK: MUSIC REVIEWS & MUSINGS BY MARY LEARY
JOAN ARMATRADING, TALBOT TAGORA, & SOME GREAT BAM-BAMS
Sky Saxon, Richie Hayward, Ringo Starr, Mick Fleetwood
The 2010 Grammy Awards
Talbot Tagora: Lessons in the Woods or a City (Hardly Art)
Joan Armatrading: Steppin’ Out – Greatest Hits Live (Eagle Rock)
So I’m watching the Grammys and noticing that Ringo, while presenting, apparently hasn’t been asked to perform. Even with all the well-produced segments and talent, this strikes me as “off.” I mean, a Beatle is in the house and no one invites him to do “It Don’t Come Easy, ” perhaps with Lifetime Achievement honoree Honeyboy Edwards adding some country blues grit? Hmmm…
Since I’ve been trying to conjure new stuff for a poetry competition, I end up with this take on proceedings: Read more
