It's a busy night in San Diego with some great live music all over town. At House of Blues, New York post-punkers Public Access T.V. share the night with the Soft White Sixties and Future Feats. All three have some stories to tell and I suspect the small, all-ages room will be jam-packed. At Soda Bar, former Boys Like Girls frontman, Martin Johnson, takes the stage with his new band the Night Game; and Brooklyn-based all-woman punk group Ex-Girlfriends headline the Merrow. Of course, there's the second sold-out night of Queens of the Stone Age at the Observatory North Park, and singer-songwriter Philip Phillips (of "American Idol" fame) plays a sold-out show at the Belly Up.
