The Gigwatcher 09/05/2007

Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow

Paris Hilton is 'inspirational'?

Bah!

What kind of excuse is that to get out of a drink-driving charge? Honestly. I can safely say that she's had no enhancing effect on my life, however mundane that might be, whatsoever. Although, if she keeps making Lena Lamont style comments such as that, her comedy value can only increase.

Not as much as when she does get banged up in stir though obviously.

*koff*

Moving swiftly on, here's what I found listed in the back pages of this week's NME:

Simian Mobile Disco @ Audio, Brighton - 12/05/2007
Cage The Elephant @ Lennons, Southampton - 12/05/2007
Leon Jean Marie @ The Joiners, Southampton - 16/05/2007
Bonde Do Role @ Pressure Point, Brighton - 19/05/2007
Biffy Clyro @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 20/05/2007
Little Barrie @ The Joiners, Southampton - 29/05/2007
The Holloways @ The Opera House, Bournemouth - 01/06/2007
Josh Pyke @ Barfly, Brighton - 05/06/2007
Air Traffic @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 14/06/2007
Josh Pyke @ The Joiners, Southampton - 14/06/2007
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 19/07/2007

If I'm not busy scheduling lots of things for my shiny (and HUGE) V+ box to record I'll add the above gigs into the SoMC Events Calendar when I get a spare five minutes. As I may have inferred once or twice, the Events Calendar is packed full of gigly morsels. Like these for example:

The Black Hand @ Talking Heads, Southampton - 10/05/2007
Skunk Funk @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 12/05/2007
Phil Beer @ Ashcroft Arts Centre, Fareham - 12/05/2007
Little London @ The Registry, Portsmouth - 17/05/2007
Richmond Fontaine @ Talking Heads, Southampton - 20/05/2007
Head Automatica @ Student Union, Southampton University - 23/05/2007
Sheelanagig @ Talking Heads, Southampton - 23/05/2007
The White Knuckle Blues Band @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 26/05/2007
The Who @ The Rose Bowl, Southampton - 02/06/2007
Country Joe McDonald @ Havant Arts Centre, Havant - 09/06/2007
The Smyths @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 15/06/2007
INXS @ The Opera House, Bournemouth - 19/06/2007

Lou Rhodes' gig at The Wedgewood Rooms, scheduled for Thursday 10th May, has been cancelled; punters are advised to contact their point of purchase for ticket refunds. Likewise those of you who splurged on tickets for Son Of Dork's gig at The Pyramids on Friday 25th May are prompted to do the same as that's been cancelled too (I know Jim will be especially gutted to hear that).

Portsmouth's legendary indie club night Chaos will again be holding one of its irregular live events on Saturday 19th May. The line-up this time round features Big Squirrel, Golden Section and Suburbian. Tickets are available from The Wedgewood Rooms, the doors open at 2100 for the live stuff and, after that, there's a DJ through til 0300.

And that about wraps it up for this week. This afternoon I have mostly been listening to Girls Aloud and King Creosote. Join me next time when I'll be practising my conversational Japanese.. hora, sem bon!
