It's not always about the weekend as Mondays often show us. At Casbah, Japanese psych-rockers Acid Mothers Temple are back to keep things weird, and our friend Veronica May is making a habit of Monday nights at the Office -- this time, joined by our buddy Ariel Levine to sweeten the pot. Country lovers should be stoked on the sheer number of shows coming through town as of late, including Nashville's Sunny Sweeney, who takes the stage tonight at Soda Bar. Finally, I've been watching a lot of music documentaries lately and Keb Mo seems to be in all of them, so it's no surprise the second night of this music legend and walking music historian is sold out at the Belly Up. Hopefully, you got your tickets early and planned ahead -- if not, I'm sure he'll be back around soon.
