MONDAY
>> Hockey Night, the Minnesota band making waves for drenching their songs in the sounds of classic rock and mid-90s Pavement and Dinosaur Jr, visit Iota tonight. You can read an interview with them over at You Aint No Picasso to catch up on the bluzz. Rumor has it a few DCists may be in attendance, so don’t forget your blogger bingo card. $10, 8:30 p.m.
>> Has science done anything to you lately? If so, head on over to the Birchmere and sympathize with Thomas Dolby. Fun fact: the Live Aid alum has made his fortune off of ring tone technology. $22.50, 7:30 p.m.
>> DCist’s good buddy Mike Grass interviewed local punk band Mass Movement of the Moth this morning. You can check them out tonight at Death Star in Silver Spring, for the bargain basement price of $2. 7 p.m.
>> If you’re in the mood for local rock in a more local setting, check out former Three Stars-featured Lucky Bastards on the Black Cat’s back stage. $5, 9 p.m.
