There are plenty of Monday night shows, big and small, to kick off your week. At the Observatory, you can catch rapper Mac Miller or get down to Lupe Fiasco at House of Blues. "Art/glam/rock monster" act Fairy Bones play at Til Two, and Los Angeles band, Mangchi, appears at Blonde. Crushed Out bring their chunky guitar rock to Soda bar, and Girl Tears bring their concise aggressive sound to the Hideout. I think I'll opt for the folky harmonies of Branches at the Casbah, however, because I maybe need a little bit of heartwarming indie folk to bring me some solace during these potentially dark days.
