It's a school night! But it's still fun!

Mondays have been known as the notorious low of the typical college students week, a night where nothing exciting ever happens, and nothing had been done to remedy this dilemma, until now. The place to be on a Monday night is The Bardot, a mecca for established, as well as new and upcoming bands and performers to strut their stuff in an intimate venue.

It's A School Night!, the banners vehemently declare, does nothing to make people forget they have a week of school ahead. But what it does make them do is realize that weekdays can be just as fun as the weekend that just passed.

The Bardot is located in downtown Hollywood and is a low-key venue, with great ambiance. The many stairs, rooms, and archways make it feel like a hidden club from long ago. There is only a small stage, on which bands proceed to jam out on every Monday night.

Hanni El Khatib, an upcoming musician who can be compared to The Black Keys in his sound, performed at The Bardot recently, to kick off his tour promoting his new album. Along with Hanni El Khatib headlining, the two opening acts, Elizaveta and the Kopecky Family Band, were an unexpected surprise. The Bardot is skilled at booking artists that one would never think to listen to, such as Elizaveta, who is a pioneer in the genre of opera pop.

It's A School Night happens every Monday night, and is free with RSVP for 21+, while 18+ have a small cover fee. Next weeks headliner is the band Bleeding Knees Club, with support from Yuna and Clubfeet. Kicking Mondays off with a concert is the best way to make the school week better.
