Rockaraoke, for those who've never tried it, is quite simply karaoke with a live band—actual humans playing actual music. They play, and you sing! It's louder and prouder, and you really can't help but feel like the lead singer (or rapper) in a real band. Another super plus: The Rockaraoke song list doesn't totally suck. Your backup band practices, and they can play all sorts of songs by artists ranging from Snoop Dogg to Judas Priest—Lady Gaga to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Bring your friends so they can cheer for/laugh at you! Event not open to people who hate fun. (Chop Suey, 1325 E Madison St, chopsuey.com, 8 pm, free, 21+)
