Although not exactly household names, for fans of classic punk\/metal and ska, Mr. Green Allstars live up to their billing. Appearing at Cane\u2019s on Oct. 9, the group includes H.R. Norwood (Bad Brains) and Phillip Fisher (Fishbone), Rocky George (Suicidal Tendencies) and D.H. Peligro (Dead Kennedys), collectively responsible for some of the most exciting music put to vinyl during the eighties. The band is touring to promote their upcoming album, “You Can\u2019t Put Me In a Box,” due in 2010, but longtime listeners will be happy to know that despite the ensuing years, non of the participants have slowed down their blistering sonic attack one iota. Not for the faint of heart, this concert promises to be brash, loud and manic. Mr. Green Allstars: Friday, Oct. 9, at Cane\u2019s Bar & Grill, 3105 Ocean Front Walk. $20. 9 p.m. 21 and up. There are many good tribute bands on the concert circuit, but few have gone on to be a major national touring force. Such is the case with the Dark Star Orchestra, which performs at the Wavehouse on Oct. 10. Paying homage to the Grateful Dead, the band nightly recreates a vintage performance from the bands 30-year history, in it\u2019s entirety. Their following is now such that The Dark Star Orchestra regularly stages events in the same venues The Dead once did. They also have a semi-official seal of approval; five Grateful Dead members have jammed with the band over the years. With meticulous attention to sonic details, for fans, it\u2019s the next best thing to seeing the real deal. Dark Star Orchestra: Saturday Oct. 10, at the Wavehouse, 3125 Oceanfront Walk. $27 adv. 8 p.m. 21 and up. One of San Diego\u2019s most prolific singer-songwriter\u2019s, Michael Tiernan, who performs at The Tiki House on Oct. 15, is rarely less than a blur of activity. A tireless promoter, band mate and performer, his acoustic guitar based tunes have won him a legion of fans as well as a mantel full of awards. Trophies include San Diego Magazine\u2019s “Best of San Diego” (2008) and the Pacific Songwriting Competition\u2019s “Songwriter of the Year” (2007). Notably, his music has also been heard in shows such as ABC-TV\u2019s “Men In Trees” and MTV\u2019s “The Real World.” A true standout in the overwhelmed singer-songwriter genre, Tiernan excels at mixing showmanship with a knack for penning catchy tunes in the same range as John Mayer or Todd Rundgren. Michael Tiernan: Thursday, Oct. 15, at The Tiki House, 1152 Garnet Avenue. Cover TBD. 9 p.m. 21 and up. The San Diego Jazz Musicians Guild\u2019s weekly music series, at Tango del Rey, has been wonderful for showcasing the area\u2019s top jazz players, but where it really makes a difference is in bringing talented new names into the local mix, such as The Eric Schauer Quartet, which performs on Oct. 21. Nevada based Schauer is a versatile drummer, best known for his work with the Freedom Jazz Trio, as well as performing with regional theater groups on plays such as “Hedwig & The Angry Inch.” Perceived by many as a background instrument, in Schauer\u2019s music the drums take the lead in a song, filling in beats around his accompanists, almost as a vocalist would. Eric Schauer Quartet: Wednesday, Oct. 21, at Tango Del Rey, 3567 Del Rey St. $10. 7 p.m. All ages.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
