We are not fond of Mondays here at Best Bets Central. The anti-anticipation starts on a Sunday evening and hits overdrive with the Monday a.m. alarm. But we are going to try something new by infusing the grumpy start to our week with dynamite funk through the conduit that is Antone’s Super Soul Monday. Flyjack, “Austin’s premier purveyors of righteous rhythms,” will be the medium that delivers us from crankiness.

Bright Eyes is the biggest band that still has connections to Omaha (311 left for L.A. before it got famous), but several years ago it felt like The Faint was giving Conor Oberst a serious run for his money. That was around the time The Faint issued 2001’s Danse Macabre, which took the band’s stylistic turn on the electro-shocked Blank-Wave Arcade and perfected it in dance-rock classics like “Agenda Suicide” and “Glass Danse.” But then 2004’s Wet From Birth left something to be desired, and the nearly four-year album break since hasn’t helped build momentum. The band’s new self-released Fasciinatiion isn’t exactly a return to form, but if past performance can be used to predict future success, the new songs are going to sound great live. Opening: Jaguar Love, Shy Child.
