TONIGHT: First Installment of the OC Music Awards Showcases

The OC Music Awards are still a ways away--April 4 at the Grove of Anaheim--but tonight is the start of the weekly Tuesday night OC Music Awards Showcases at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. Much better than watching a House reopeat (spoiler: House figures out the mystery illness towards the end of the episode).

Tonight they've got folk singer Will Crum at 9, Melanoid at 9:45, Michael Rosas at 10:30 and Ryan Baxley--pictured!--at 11:15. Future weeks will include OC Weekly-approved acts like The Sweet Sweet Things, Venus Infers and Matt Kollar & the Angry Mob.
