Your Monday To Do List
Having a case of the Mondays is usually a bad thing/really annoying phrase, but not when there's actually fun stuff happening! Forget what your calendar says; tonight is full of weekend-worthy events.
Experimental Electro-Pop musician Zola Jesus performs tonight at the Contemporary Arts Center. This one-woman noise machine is known for commanding a room, despite her tiny stature. The unique architectural aspects of the venue should be a perfect match to Jesus' (real name: Nika Roza Danilova) individual sound and performance style. Doors open at 7:30 for the 8 p.m. show, with Talk Normal as the opening act. $10 for CAC members, $15 for everyone else at the door. Read Leyla Shokoohe's interview with Jesus here.
There's also a fair amount of live music tonight. Bluegrass-"citybilly" hybrid Oakhust plays Stanley's Pub at 9 p.m.; Sparrow Bellows continues its residency at MOTR Pub, playing at 10 p.m.; Monday = Mad Frog for many as Tropicoso presents its weekly Salsa night at the Clifton Heights club.
