For those who work traditional Monday-through-Friday weeks, there seems to be a consensus that Mondays suck. But even worse than Mondays are Mondays after a holiday. So why not fight off that Sunday night dread for a few hours of music? Tonight, some great options are at your fingertips, with the Bird and the Bee and Alex Lilly at the Irenic -- where the curfew is 10 p.m. so you can still make it home for a full night's sleep -- or catch some post-hardcore with Silverstein and Senses Fail at the Observatory North Park. LA rock duo the Peach Kings are at the Casbah (read our preview of their show here), or catch the all-female synth-pop tunes of Lex at Soda Bar. There are plenty of choices for any music lover this Sunday night. You can deal with the Monday dread in the morning.
