San Diego music is fine: Final summer concerts

It's been a busy week of live music in San Diego.

• A small but spirited crowd braved the elements to see Brazilian legends Os Mutantes at Music Box, on Aug. 20, the night before Tropical Storm Hilary greeted us.

• The bookers at CalCoast Credit Union Open Air Theater ended up with a back-to-back mid-week nights of anthemic folk rock.
• And best of all, '90s alt-rock revivalists Bully, led by Alicia Bognanno, ripped in front of a sold-out crowd at Soda Bar.

What we're watching: San Diego's live music calendar is packed this fall, but before we get there here's a handful of shows this coming week worth circling.

• San Diego's own Drug Hunt, a psychedelic rock band with a post-punk flavor, is headlining a packed bill at Casbah Friday night.
• The same night, Tropa Magica, which fuses cumbia with alternative rock, are down from L.A. for an early show at the Quartyard in East Village.
• Two of OB's finest play in the neighborhood on Saturday: bluesy power trio Band of Gringos is playing at the Seedless Skatepark Warehouse in the afternoon and reggae rock act Half Hour Late is going to fill Winston's at night.

• Ratboys are headed to The Loft at UCSD in October to tour "The Window," a jangly indie rock entry that's getting deserved album-of-the-year buzz.
• Reggae legends Black Uhuru hit the Belly Up in early October.
