The more things change the more they stay the same; the Spice Girls are on tour and Morrissey is feuding with the NME about his alleged racism. It's like it's 1997 all over again, all we need now is for Roxette to reform.
[thinks]
See that bloke tempting fate, that's me that is.

I'll attempt to update the SoMC Events Calendar with the above gigs at my earliest opportunity (which is anyone's guess, I'm easily distracted).

The second Southsea Mini Music Festival takes place this Saturday, 8th December, with an afternoon of music at Little Johnny Russell's on Albert Road followed by an evening of tunes at Café Havana. The early session at LJR's (1330-2030) features live sets from Dirty 38's, The Stations, Will McNicol and Katie Malco plus the Red Indie DJs spinning the wheels of steel, whilst Hijera, The Drellas and Extravagatron are confirmed for the late session (2000-0130) down the road aways. The event is in aid of The Ellen MacArthur Trust and entrance to either venue is £3 (or a generous donation).
Tonight's Waster at Portsmouth's Envy nightclub features a DJ set by Bez and Kav from legendary Madchester outfit Happy Mondays, plus live performances from The Elements and The Cartel. Doors open 2200 and the fun runs through to 0230, with entrance a mere £1 entry before 2300 (£3 after).
Indie flavoured four-piece Joby and alternative rockers Infra Rouge are the musical guests at a special Disney themed Roger Courtney's Open Mike Club tomorrow, Thursday 6th December, at The Milton Arms, Portsmouth. Budding performers who feel like taking the stage during the Open Mike session will be asked to perform at least one song from a Disney film (which sounds an interesting idea). Admission is FREE and the doors open at 1900.
The Fawcett Inn plays host to an evening of trance this Saturday, 8th December, when regular night Illumidance lets DJs Coincidence, Clodhopper and Donna DD take charge of the decks. Doors open 1930 through till 2330.
If you didn't know already, The Sex Pistols have been confirmed as the Saturday night headliners for the 2008 Isle of Wight Festival. Tickets for the festival go on general sale at 0900 this coming Monday, 10th December.
And finally; as it's getting toward the end of the year it's obviously time for the 3rd Annual Son Of Music Club poll, a chance for you all to list your best/worst bands, albums or gigs. The template is up on the forum, just click this link then follow the instructions and fill in the blanks.
Put a fork in me, I'm done; this afternoon I have mostly been enjoying the sounds of The Shins, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Arcade Fire. Join me next week when I'll be making a list (and checking it twice).
