Hopefully, everyone is enjoying some time off, so you don't need to have any agony on Monday when you're out late on Sunday. Tonight, El Vez returns to the Casbah with his riff on "The Greatest Showman" with the Greatest Snowman. Get to the show early for Pony Death Ride, whose holiday jingles are endlessly entertaining. El Vez has had a massive impact on the San Diego music landscape over the years, and with at least a few costume changes, dancers and, of course, his modified classics with a Mexican twist, the show is less a concert and more an immersive experience.
