Yes, it's true that Weezer is coming back to town (and this time it isn't for a private corporate party), but there is so much great music happening tonight that even if you do brave the track to catch them at the Del Mar Summer Concert Series, you're gonna want to save some energy for what the night brings. Whether that means a night with some of San Diego's best rockers at the Casbah or the sweet L.A. indie-rockers Summer Darlin at Tin Can or the electronic dance grooves of Hyena over at Vin de Syrah, you're in for a super night of music all over town.
