Look, I know technically Sunday night is a school night, but it's summer and rules are meant to be broken, especially when you have such amazing options for live music. Head up to the Belly Up to catch HoneyHoney, who, despite being an L.A. band, are loved in San Diego as if they're our own. Meanwhile, HONNE makes their San Diego debut with a sold-out show at the Casbah. And last mention here, but definitely not least, C.W. Stoneking makes his San Diego debut at Soda Bar. The Aussie troubadour is being compared to Tom Waits, which isn't a comparison writers just throw around willy-nilly, so you might want to check out his throwback style at this show people are sure to be talking about for a while.
An earlier version of this article mentioned Duran Duran. That show is actually on Tuesday, August 2. We regret the error --Ed.
