Ease into the work week with some live rock tonight. Here are a few options:

This is Ivy League @ Knitting Factory: The Cobra Starship alums celebrate the release of their charming new record tonight.

Jason Mraz @ Highline Ballroom: The acoustic pop crooner returns to NYC, bringing along the lamest opening act ever: a magician who calls himself Justin Kredible.

Tally Hall, Jukebox the Ghost @ Soutpaw: More effective than anti-depressants. Might be too much happy pop for the room to handle.

Steve Smith @ Mercury Lounge: The man behind electronica outfit Dirty Vegas wields an acoustic guitar solo tonight. Also playing: The Diggs.

Drew & the Medicinal Pen @ Cake Shop: Expect broken guitar strings, chipped teeth, and bloody noses. Finish off the night with a cupcake upstairs.
