This week has a bit of a slow build with a ton of stuff this weekend but there are some solid options if you are feeling compelled to enjoy some music tonight. At the Casbah, it's time for the semi-monthly Hip-Hop Battle Bot, where you can choose to compete in a number of challenges or just be an observer. Soda Bar's got East County punk band Within a Week, Bar Pink has the Garners for Tiki Tuesday, and San Diego quartet Roger! headline at the Merrow with our friend and host, Tim Pyles. Hard-rock fans should head to Brick By Brick for Red Dragon Cartel, and SDMA-winner Whitney Shay sings the blues at Humphreys Backstage Live.
