So, Mondays can be a real drag, but Bourbon & Branch might have that doctor recommended musical remedy with its lineup this evening. With their seductively sleazy, retro-rockin’, guitar-heavy, locomotive-style selections, Lantern will knock you out of that new-week stupor, sweating layers of grit and grim, while laying down blazing guitar lines and remaining accessible in that T-Rex tradition. Speaking of accessible, the multi-genre, melodic, psych experience of The Interest Group will also be providing a much-needed dose of male-female vocals, serving as a calming force with their ironed-out, crisp compositions. Midwesterners State Champion round out the bill in NoLibs newest music venue. Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
