Shoulda known, shoulda cared, I shoulda hung around the kitchen in my.. umm.. err.. *koff*

OK, so I'm going to see The Tweedy and chums this weekend (sadly not at Portchester Castle, curse you local goverment) so I'm more than a little bit excited. That said, hopefully there'll be a beer tent so I can evade the horror that is Journey South. Anyway, all this talk of Girls Aloud has reminded me that I know of someone who has a spare ticket for this fine event for sale. If anyone out there fancies taking it off his hands leave a comment and we can, like Noel Edmonds, do a deal.
And so, after that poorly constructed and quite shameless sales message, it's that time of the week again. I've pored over the back pages of the NME and have found the following local gigs (for local people):
Keith @ Unit 22, Southampton - 09/09/2006
The Rifles @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Southsea - 02/10/2006
NME Rock'n'Roll Riot Tour (featuring The Fratellis, The Horrors, The Maccabees and The Dykeenies) @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 11/10/2006
Mumm-Ra @ The Opera House, Bournemouth - 29/10/2006
Two Gallants @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Southsea - 01/11/2006
The Magic Numbers @ The Guildhall, Portsmouth - 14/11/2006
The Brian Jonestown Massacre @ Southampton University, Southampton - 21/11/2006
The Charlatans @ The Guildhall, Portsmouth - 30/11/2006
Paolo Nutini @ The Dome, Brighton - 02/12/2006
The above gigs will, just as soon as I have a spare five minutes, join all the other gigs I find on my travels across the interweb in the repository that is the SoMC Events Calendar, like the following for example:
Steve Arnott @ The Frog & Frigate, Southampton - 25/08/2006
Kojak's Revenge @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Southsea - 26/08/2006
The White Knuckle Blues Band @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 16/09/2006
The Poozies @ The Ashcroft Arts Centre, Fareham - 04/11/2006
Easy Star All-Stars @ The Brook, Southampton - 04/12/2006
If you want to peruse the Events Calendar then this handy blurb should answer most of your questions. There's bound to be something listed that pulls your chain, or the chain of someone you know, or the chain of whoever is in the cubicle next to you.
If Girls Aloud aren't your thing then there's plenty of music in the area this weekend. From Friday through til Monday the sixth annual Southsea Folk & Roots Festival will be taking over the South Parade Pier (and a couple of nearby pubs); more information can be found here. If that doesn't grab you, and it looks like rain, why not stay home and indulge in some on-line karaoke. Bizarre, truly bizarre.
Well, that about wraps it up for this week; have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend and, above all, be excellent to one another..
