They will be performing "In the Round" – one of only four dates that the band will play this way on the eleven city tour this March. Kinda crazy, right? Their experimental/rock/psychedelic sound is definitely as outrageous as their stage show. Don't miss out on this one.</p>

<p><img alt="This Week in Le Rock: Mar 17 - 23" src="http://img.sfist.com/attachments/sfist_spencer/switchesnew.jpg" class="right" width="324" height="246">Tuesday, Switches (pictured to the right) will be celebrating their CD release, <em><a href="http://interscope.edgeboss.net/wmedia/interscope/switches/audio/lay_down_the_law.asx">Lay Down the Law</a></em> at The Roxy in L.A. They will be in San Francisco, performing at <a href="http://popscene-sf.com/calendar/">popscene</a>, on Thursday night with <a href="http://www.thepigeondetectives.com/news.asp">The Pigeon Detectives</a>. Switches didn't play San Francisco on their last U.S. tour, so we were extremely happy that they decided to come and visit us on this one. This infectious Brit-Pop band recently had an extremely successful run at SXSW and is releasing their first album tomorrow; the show is gonna be hot!</p>

<p>The weekend is already full of sold-out shows ranging from Vampire Weekend to Explosions in the Sky. Since <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/12/07/sfist_reviews_v.php">we already had the opportunity to see Vampire Weekend</a> play (only a couple of months ago), we decided we'll be checking out <a href="http://www.myspace.com/seawolf">Sea Wolf</a> <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/02/05/new_tunes_tuesd_17.php">supporting Nada Surf at the Fillmore</a> on Saturday night.</p>
