Here's what I think you should do this weekend.
There's two awesome concerts going on simultaneously tonight.
Cash Lansky and Marley B, this week's cover stars, are home after a month long tour through the US of A. You can catch the rising stars tonight at The Rock, 36 N. Park Ave. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are only $8 at the door.
Acorn Bcorn and The Resonars are opening for Seattle surfer punk rockers La Luz tonight at 191 Toole.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for this all ages show. Click here for more details.
