There’s something about Des Ark touring in December that just feels so right. It’s like, you know when you listen to someone’s favorite song and you feel like you understand that person just a little bit better? Those are all of Des Ark’s songs for me. Guitarist, singer and songwriter Aimée Argot is bringing the band along to Great Scott on Monday in support of her new record, Everything Dies, to play tender tunes to suit all your sad queer needs. But seriously. This is Argot’s first full-length since 2011’s Don’t Rock The Boat, Sink The Fucker (and if we’re lucky, we’ll get to hear a couple songs off this heartbreaker of an album too). This show will give you feels — mostly the ones where you obsess over your own mortality. Don’t underestimate it.

Plus, opening for the North Carolina based band are Longings, a nosier punk trio from Amherst, MA who put out their record S/T in September.

Beverly, MA band Dreamtigers will also be playing this show, providing all the dreamy indie rock your tiny heart could desire. Local artists and honest lyrics? Your Monday night’s not gonna get much better than that.
