Ahh.. we're midway through another week, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the air conditioning is on the blink.. lovely. Anyway, enough of all that, here are the meagre offerings from the back pages of the NME this week..
You Say Party! We Say Die! @ Pressure Point, Brighton - 18/05/2006
Jamie T @ The Joiners, Southampton - 14/06/2006
The Holloways & The Pigeon Detectives @ The Joiners, Southampton - 18/07/2006
..not all that much I know, mostly because the back end of this week's paper is full of big colourful adverts for festivals that have pretty much sold out already. Nice. Regardless, I'll add these onto the Son of Music Club's Events Calendar.
As I may have mentioned once or twice before, the trusty Events Calendar is continually updated to include any up and coming gigs, at a variety of local venues, that I happen to stumble across on the interweb (for example the forthcoming visits to the Wedgewood Rooms by Regina Spektor and Nizlopi). The Events Calendar is an almost invaluable resource for the gig monkey, why not register on the forum and give it a spin (oh g'won.. please?). As well as gigs purloined from the NME it also features local gigs by local people:
One Weird Fish @ The Railway Inn, Gosport - 26/05/2006 (any band that kicks off their set with Warriors Of The Wasteland gets a big thumbs up from me)
Bushmen @ The Royal Beach Hotel, Southsea - 08/07/2006 (Ant Shue takes to the stage for the indie funksters' live debut)
Yes, the SoMC's very own Ant Shue will begin his path to total rock domination at the Royal Beach Hotel. They are, according to Ant, "better than Wyld Stallyns". Excellent! [insert guitar noise here] He's assured me that there will be a bar, so I'll be there.
And finally, in the week that saw Theo Walcott get called up to the England World Cup squad, the Official England World Cup song poll thing continues on the forum. I must say, having heard the Tony Christie effort, the official song doesn't sound all that bad.
Well, that about wraps it up for this week.
