Some find simply sitting on a bar stool and having a cocktail to be a tedious affair. Fortunately for them, bar diversions are evolving. Out with the tabletop versions of Ms. Pac-Man and metal-tipped darts, in with Big Buck Hunter, Wii Bowling and — for those who like to showcase their vodka-and-Red Bull-fueled talent — Rock Band. Now appeasing wannabe stars in Westport is Metal Mark (aka DJ SCSI Bunny), host of Rock Band Mondays at the Riot Room (4048 Broadway, 816-442-8179). Teams of four on guitar, bass, drums and vocals are encouraged to come up with band names and personalities as well as act and dress the part before wailing through songs. Winners get a free draw or well drink and the satisfaction of being the coolest motherfuckers at the Riot Room on a Monday night. Go get your Rock Band on at 8 p.m.
