Christmas and New Year's bring a near shutdown of touring musicians this time of year, so you should take full advantage when the opportunity for a rad show comes up just a couple days before the holiday. Monday you're in luck with a few fun choices, like the outlaw country and honky tonk of The Freightshakers at the Casbah or the Hawaiian folk of Anuhea at the Belly Up. The big show of the night, however, is at Soda Bar, where Creepers (featuring members of Deafheaven) just might blow your mind -- that is, if Naytronix (the project of Nate Brenner of tUnE-yArDs) doesn't blow your mind first. Make an exception to get out this Monday night.
