The Gigwatcher 28/03/2007

Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi, the girl is hard to get.

Argh.

Do I not like the switch to Daylight Saving Time.

[insert long and aimless rant here about changing all the clocks in the house, which of course includes the video you never use anymore so you have to find the pesky remote which is behind the sofa but it doesn't work because the batteries are flat and it takes those tiny AAA ones which you never ever have quite enough of]

And relax.

*koff*

Yes well, that's quite enough of that.. here's what I found listed in the back pages of this week's NME:

Dub Pistols @ Komedia, Brighton - 11/04/2007
The Beat @ Concorde 2, Brighton - 13/04/2007
The Ripps @ Lennons, Southampton - 14/04/2007
Foals @ Lennons, Southampton - 21/04/2007
Zico Chain @ The Joiners, Southampton - 23/04/2007
The Envy Corps @ Lennons, Southampton - 05/05/2007
The Black Ghosts @ Pressure Point, Brighton - 17/05/2007
The Envy Corps @ The Railway Inn, Winchester - 18/05/2007

The Holloways @ The Opera House, Bournemouth - 01/06/2007
The Cribs @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 06/06/2007

If I'm not watching endless re-runs of CSI on FiveUS I'll add the above gigs into the SoMC Events Calendar. As mentioned once or twice before the Events Calendar is made of ticky tacky and to use it you just need to register on the SoMC forum. In a Blue Peter style, here are some gigs I found earlier:

Scott Matthews @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 03/04/2007
The Model Village @ Havana Café Bar, Portsmouth - 06/04/2007
Winnebago Deal @ The Railway Inn, Winchester - 13/04/2007
Wiservice @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 14/04/2007
Jeniferever @ The Hope, Brighton - 20/04/2007
Curtis Stigers @ The Anvil, Basingstoke - 26/04/2007
Cradle of Filth @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 30/04/2007
Peter & The Test Tube Babies @ The Joiners, Southampton - 30/04/2007
Hot Chip (DJ set) @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 12/05/2007
The Hold Steady @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 04/07/2007

The Cooper Temple Clause's planned gig at The Pyramids on Wednesday 4th April has been moved to Wednesday 23rd May at The Wedgewood Rooms. Original tickets remain valid and, in other news, Kubichek! have been named as the support.

Chichester's Golden Section will be appearing at The Wedgewood Rooms this Saturday as support for local outfit The Exits. Also on the bill are Hijera from Southampton (aka "that band that won that thing on BBC South Today last year"). Some new tunage from Golden Section can be heard on their MySpace (it's well worth a listen if you get the chance).

Some more additions have been made to the line-up for this year's Isle of Wight Festival. Koopa, who made history by becoming the first unsigned band to break the UK Top 40, will be appearing on the Friday night. The Sunday bill now boasts the presence of ex-Spice Girl Melanie C. *koff* If, like me, you were unsuccessful in obtaining tickets for this year's Newport shindig then help is at hand, the organisers have announced an auction of an additional 100 weekend tickets. The bidding begins on Ticketmaster at 9am tomorrow morning. Clickity.

And that just about wraps it up for this week, this afternoon I have mostly been listening to the new LCD Soundsystem album (and resisting the temptation to break out the glo-sticks) and trying to get the sound of Peter Griffin singing that damn Music Man song out of my head.
