Your choices for Monday fun:
► Vanessa Carlton, her fourth album “Rabbits on the Run” on the way due July 26, visits the RSVP-only It’s A School Night at Bardot. Electric Guest also performs.
► Thao & Mirah, their self-titled album on Kill Rock Stars winning a lot of indie hearts, visit the Hotel Cafe. (And did you see their cover of “Love Is a Battlefield”?)
► Newly signed to Frenchkiss Records, Races kicks off their residency at the Bootleg. Polls and So Many Wizards head up the support. [More on Races here and here.]
► Andy Clockwise vaults into his residency at the Satellite, with Lemon Sun and the Hundred Days opening.
► And two residencies that kicked off on the Fourth of July continue — LA Font (celebrating the release of its “Sharks” 7-inch) at the Silverlake Lounge with Queen Kwong and the Ross Sea Party, and Crystal Antlers at the Echo, with Cold Showers.
