If I'm being completely honest, this weekend was so insane, you'd be forgiven if you took a night off, but you'd be missing out on some fun. At the Belly Up, catch a benefit for the Tony Hawk Foundation featuring Texas rockers This Will Destroy You. Meanwhile, the tribute bands in San Diego are surely saturated, but tonight you can be the star at the Office with Death Cab for Karaoke, backed by a live band, or catch Obligerant at Casbah or check Chinese hardcore act Demerit at Soda Bar. You probably have a dozen excuses to stay home, but you definitely should exercise your will and get out to see some live music.
