Don’t Let Monday Get You Down

Yes, if your life is much like mine, Monday sucks; it’s a cliché, sure (not to mention the subject of several songs), but all that day-job work shit that seemed doable Sunday evening suddenly looms into focus bright and early Monday AM and causes me to break out in a cold sweat. Not good.

Luckily, this Monday (today, that is) is different, thanks to SCR contributor and Houston Calling head honcho David Cobb, who tonight will be hosting his 2nd-ever Houston Calling Happy Hour show at The Proletariat. It’s an excellent, excellent bill of locals, with Something Fierce (never heard, but heard good things about), the Southern Backtones (good stuff), and the Bright Men of Learning (whom I’ve heard very recently & was blown away by), and best of all, it’s early, as in “starts at 7PM.” This is very good news for lamers like yours truly who have to be home, at least, by a decent hour on weekdays.

At any rate, this’ll be a good show. It’s cheap, it’s early, the bands are all good, and hey, what the hell else are you doing on a Monday night? (Just TiVo CSI and you’ll survive, I promise.)
