California X (w/ Heat Dust, Pope)
Typically, I kick off the week with some mellow tunes to help readers ease into the week. You’ll just have to suck it up this time because California X are playing on a Monday.

Hard Girls, Broadcaster, All People,Donovan Wolfington
It’s a night of upbeat pop-punk featuring San Jose’s Hard Girls and hometown heroes Donovan Wolfington. What’s not to love?

NOTS (W/ DUMMY DUMPSTER, BLACK ABBA, DJ 9RIS 9RIS)
Sometimes the universe just throws you a good week. That’s certainly the case with Saturn Bar. My love of lady punk bands notwithstanding, they’ve put together an excellent week of shows and Memphis’ Nots is no exception.
Saturn Bar, 3067 St. Claude Ave. 9 p.m.

NOISEWATER, THE QUICKENING
It’s possible to create a weekly rundown of NOLA concerts without a single funk show, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Hi-Ho Lounge. 2239 St. Claude Ave. 10 p.m.

BEACH DAY, BEN POLAR ONE MAN BAND
Beach Day is love. Beach Day is life. No further questions.
Siberia. 2227 St. Claude Ave. 6 p.m

MAD DECENT BLOCK PARTY
There’s really only one reason to go to this $45 mini-fest at Mardi Gras World and that’s the Hood Pope himself. If, for some reason, you want to see some of the other acts, this thing kicks off at 2 p.m.
Mardi Gras World. Buy tickets.
