Let's get back to music in this town, shall we? On Monday you've got plenty of choices to see your favorite locals or check out some touring acts. Top billing tonight is Ann Arbor's Pity Sex, playing at the House of Blues Voodoo Stage. This show is presented by Soda Bar, so you know it's got indie cred, and the band's infectious indie-pop is a throwback to the great stuff of the early '90s. Meanwhile, Casbah still has your Anti-Monday League, with Boxcar Chief headlining the night. Over at Soda Bar, Swim Team kicks off a weekly residency, which means you can see them every Monday this month. There's plenty of good fun for everyone if you just get out and find it.
