The Gigwatcher 05/03/2008

Entropy Incorporated

Nope.

It's no good.

I've tried to weave a gag mixing the top shelf magazine magnate Paul Raymond's passing with Rihanna's umbrella-ella ban but I just can't come up with anything.

Maybe I'm trying too hard.

*koff*

Moving swiftly on, herewith be the gigs what I blatantly lifted from the back pages of this week's NME:

At some point yet to be decided, when I'm not out propping up a bar or perusing the delights of the Midnight Tandoori's fine menu, I'll update the SoMC Events Calendar with the gigs above.
