The Gigwatcher 12/09/2007

Nessun dorma.

It's true what they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Well.

Unless you're Britney Spears of course. Oh dear. Oh dearie me.

If I'm not camped out in front of the GameCube playing Lego Star Wars 2 (no, really) I'll bung the above listed gigs onto the SoMC Events Calendar just as soon as I can (might be some time, I've only just rescued Lego Leia from the Lego Death Star).

John Power's scheduled gig at The Cellars at Eastney on Wednesday 19th September has been rescheduled. The new date for the ex-Cast front man is Friday 9th November. Metal-core supergroup This Is Menace have cancelled their UK tour, which means they won't be appearing at The Wedgewood Rooms on Sunday 7th October after all. Punters are advised to contact point of purchase for refunds for either gig.

The second semi-final of The Wedgewood Room's Showcase '07 event will take place this Saturday, 15th September. As winners of their respective heats Introduce Your Icon, Swampglow, Godsend and The Elijah Project will be taking part, all aiming to win through to the Grand Final (to be held at the Wedge on Friday 28th September).

And that about wraps it up for this week. This afternoon I was mostly listening to the new King Creosote album and the long player from St Vincent, both of which are really very good indeed. Join me next week when I'll probably be stuck on Lego Dagobah with Lego Yoda.

:o)
