The month of May is coming to an end, which means just a little over a month separates us from the return of Comic Con. It will be here before you know it, but one of the mainstays of the Con is nerd-rapper MC Chris. His social media presence is hilarious, almost entirely consisting of photos of rare and special release candy and cookies, random t-shirts and cute kid pics. Tonight, he's at Soda Bar with Bitforce, and you should geek out to the video game vibes and pop culture punchlines. Around town, the Casbah hosts an epic Booty Bassment, Sofi Tukker plays a sold-out show at the Observatory and Rock en Espanol vibes stay strong at Blonde with Rey Pila.
