Good grief. There's just no break in the music scene sometimes, but tonight just proves that Mondays don't have to suck. Of course, Hozier tickets at the Observatory sold out nearly instantly, but if you didn't get tickets, you can still catch amazing acts like Alkaline Trio at House of Blues or King Khan & the Shrines at Belly Up. "Melodic Metalcore" act We Came as Romans play at the Irenic and locals Se Vende headline Soda Bar. I'm most excited, however, about the return of the Dodos. The Bay Area duo just dropped a new record, "Certainty Waves," after going on hiatus following their 2015 release, "Individ." Now over ten years together and many, many times at the Casbah, I expect lots of their long-time and new fans to make it out for this Monday night show.
