Can't Miss It: Monday

DOOOO YOUU REAAALIZE?: that The Flaming Lips are in town tonight??. Woohoo x10! The Oklahoma based trio has been rock rock rocking since 1983, and if you've never seen them we strongly suggest you remedy that. They're a rock circus if you will, and along with Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, will be changing lives at The Paramount.

8:00 p.m. // Paramount Theatre // $40

HIPPER THAN HIP: What's hipper than Brooklyn? Brooklyn with a taste of Austin. Neon Indian is a "chillwave" band, and we suspect your dreary Monday could use a little chilling. And waving.

8:00 p.m. // Showbox at the Market // $18

LOVELY LIT: Sara Gruen is the author of the charming and wildly adored novel Water For Elephants. Her new novel Ape House is about a family of sign language learning bonobo apes that become television starts, which frankly sounds awesome.
