The Gigwatcher 16/08/2006

Hello everybody..

Apologies for the delay this week, it's been one of those days; a whirlwind of meetings, legacy restores and laptops misbehaving themselves (I think they're doing it to spite me). Before my afternoon got taken up with all things going wrong I had enough time at lunch to peruse the back pages of this week's NME to see what's coming our way, thus:

Ben Kweller @ Concorde 2, Brighton - 21/09/2006
Embrace (with Delays) @ The Guildhall, Portsmouth - 04/10/2006 (a dilemma for Shaun there)
The Eastpak Antidote Tour (Gogol Bordello, Bedouin Soundclash, Danko Jones & Disco Ensemble) @ The Dome, Brighton - 06/10/2006
Rancid @ The Dome, Brighton - 20/11/2006
The Long Blondes @ The Joiners, Southampton - 27/10/2006
Jamie T @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Southsea - 28/10/2006
Rancid @ The Dome, Brighton - 20/11/2006
Lostprophets @ The Guildhall, Portsmouth - 28/11/2006
James Morrison @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 11/12/2006
Kasabian @ Brighton Centre, Brighton - 16/12/2006
Kasabian @ BIC, Bournemouth - 18/12/2006

As soon as I get a spare five minutes I'll add the above into the Son of Music Club's Events Calendar; there they'll join all the gigs that catch my eye as I wander across the interweb, such as...

!!! @ Concorde 2, Brighton - 21/08/2006 (it's pronounced 'chk chk chk')
Michael Franti & Spearhead @ Concorde 2, Brighton - 03/09/2006
Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band @ The Brook, Southampton - 01/09/2006
Arlen @ The Cellars at Eastney - 20/09/2006
Seth Lakeman @ Concorde 2, Brighton - 04/10/2006

If you want to peruse the repository of local gigness that is the Events Calendar, then I've knocked up something that should answer all your questions. There's gigs on there through to the end of the year so there's bound to be something that boils your egg, or the egg of someone you know, or the egg of that bloke who sits across from you and looks at you funny).

And finally.. the new Scissor Sisters single reminds me of the Nolans. Discuss.
