I lived it up this weekend and hopefully you did too, but it's a holiday Monday, and if you're feeling the itch for music, you can still get out for some good times. The Observatory has a $5 show with GZA, and Refused rock out at the Belly Up, while Soda Bar takes a walk on the goth/industrial vibe with Go Dark and Metal Mother. Of course, the scene will be especially hot at the Office for another Under Cover. Monday's show features music by the Velvet Underground and Lou Reed, and all of your favorite local music regulars will be there, many taking rotating spots on stage. Tuesday will come soon enough, but for now, enjoy a most excellent Monday night.
