Not usually much goin' on Monday nights, but tonight presents a couple of new options. Something is in the air! Can you feel it?
-- Looks like the King Bucks are takin' a break from Barley and trying Adair's on for size. They'll be there tonight. 9 p.m. at 2624 Commerce St. No cover. 214-939-9900.
-- Gay bar JR's has been getting in on the local-music action lately. Tonight's bill features Tommy Hernandez and the Sweet Boys and Dan Paul. I'm a big fan of Tommy's 2007 solo CD Mimespeak, but this Sweet Boys thing sounds like it's more electro-dance than piano pop. There's no cover, but you're welcome to buy them sweet boys a drink! 3923 Cedar Springs Road. 214-559-0650.
Got any other ideas? Lesley's on vacay, so I'll try to get better at the nightclub stuff in the next few days.
UPDATE: Oh yeah, I forgot about Tom Waits at the Palladium. Isn't he that dude who wrote all those songs on that awesome Scarlett Johansson CD? ... I kid.
