The week is inching closer to the weekend, which will no doubt be crazy with people celebrating Halloween early, but we think you should always find reasons to get out to enjoy live music. At the Casbah, Ohioan indie-folk band Saintseneca returns for a chill hump-day show while sensual pop songstress Alina Baraz plays the first of two nights at the Observatory North Park. Exploded View bring their brooding darkwave synth sound to the Whistle Stop and rapper Trey Songz performs for San Diego Appreciation Night with NFL star Antonio Gates at Fluxx. You have lots of midweek options to keep your spirits high and your aural needs satisfied.
