The Gigwatcher 27/09/2006

Aftnoon..

After last week's excursion to the big city, which I didn't see all that much of (not above ground anyway; I saw a lot of the tube though thanks to my country bumpkin-like ineptitude at following a map), it's business as usual here at Gigwatcher Towers.

Once more I've wasted my lunch break to bring you good people the head's up on what's coming our way gigwise, courtesy of the back pages of the NME. This week's edition comes with the annual Student Guide, full of pointers to life in the bright lights for young whippersnappers; once again Portsmouth gets barely a mention yet Southampton gets a double-page feature. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Moving swiftly on..

As soon as I have the time I'll add the above gigs onto the SoMC Events Calendar where they'll join all the other gigs I find out about in my trundlings across the interweb, like these for example...

Teddy Thompson @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 28/09/2006
Steve Arnott @ The Frog & Frigate, Southampton - 29/09/2006
The Exits @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 30/09/2006
Embrace @ The Guildhall, Portsmouth - 04/10/2006
Go West @ The Ferneham Hall, Fareham - 05/10/2006

Once registered on the SoMC forum you can interrogate the Events Calendar to your hearts content, if you're not registered then, well, you can't (them's the breaks I'm afraid).

Red Honey and The Pimps, featuring the legendary John 'Two Chillies' Nixon, are still looking for a new bass player. Are you up to the task?

The Tacheback campaign has entered its final week and pretty much all involved are sporting fetching face furtniture. Both Stu and Andy have lovely Zapata handlebars, whereas Young Brett resembles a dashing gentleman thief more and more each day. As mentioned before they're cultivating hairy top lips to raise money for the Everyman cancer charity. If you'd like to donate then links (to both their website and photos of the guys taking part) can be found here.

And that's about it for this week, tune in next week for a Polish 'special special' edition.. tatty bye!
