MUSIC
The Duke Spirit

Up and coming Brit rockers, The Duke Spirit, make a cameo at the Triple Rock Social Club tonight on the road to bigger and better things. One of only a couple stops on this mini-sweep of the U.S., The Duke Spirit will rock MPLS then are immediately off to tape performances on Last Call with Carson Daly AND Jimmy Kimmel Live -- followed by a highly anticipated show at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. Fronted by the sexy Liela Moss, whose domineering vocals set the tone for the band's catchy, cleverly arranged melodies, The Duke Spirit is definitely on the verge of a major blow up.  And of course, Monday is always a good day for a crazy rock show.

8 p.m., Triple Rock, 629 Cedar Avenue, West Bank Minneapolis, $10 adv, $12 door

FILM
The Phantom Lady

These days, with all the guns, robots, laser beams, and other such new-fangled on-screen killing tools, strangling has become a murder method of the past. Thanks to the filmies over at Take Up Productions, however, you'll be transported back to the days of yore when a good old-fashioned strangling always had a place in the plot line. Tonight's film noir classic, The Phantom Lady (1944), finds Scott Henderson (Alan Curtis) fighting to maintain his innocence after his wife is found strangled with one of his neck ties. The only way to prove his alibi is to find the nameless woman whose "company" he was enjoying at the time of his wife's death. Still not sold? Apparently there is a really good sex scene too.

7:30 p.m., Heights Theater, 3951 Central Avenue NE, Minneapolis, $8

WINE & DINE
Twin Cities Supper Club

Tonight's all-inclusive dinner gathering is cooked up by party-throwers extraordinaire VimLab -- who are perhaps best known for their wild boat cruise shindigs that happen each summer on the mighty Mississip. Join this youthful group of connoisseurs as they introduce the second installment of Twin Cities Supper Club, this time at La Belle Vie in Minneapolis. Enjoy an extensive tasting menu by Executive Chef Tim McKee (A 2008 James Beard Top Chef Nominee) and a signature cocktail from the mind of famed drink-slinger Johnny Michaels. This fresh and fun foodie event is wonderful way to acquaint yourself with La Belle Vie's menu, and a great place to meet and network with young professionals and up-and-coming creatives. What's more, it's a perfect excuse to get your look together on a Monday night. Space is limited, and reservations are required to natalie@vimlab.com.

7 p.m. to 11 p.m., La Belle Vie, 510 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis; $50, Reservations required to natalie@vimlab.com
