Holiday Mode
I suppose really I should write something pithy here about Dirty Pretty Things splitting up, or Paul "fab macca wacky thumbs aloft" McCartney releasing a dance record (no, really), but I'm all set to leave on a jet plane so can't really be bothered.

The scheduled Spiritualized gig at The Pyramids on Tuesday 14th October has moved to The Wedgewood Rooms, original tickets remain valid (contact the venue's box office for refund information).
This week's Waster doubles as the after-party for the Showcase 08 competition, with the full force of the Southsea Mafia DJs in effect, armed with the best indiepunkelectrorock'n'rave in town. Portsmouth's Envy nightclub will be open for the usual shenanigans from 2200 tomorrow, Thursday 2nd October; owing to a PowerFM party in sister club Liquid entry will be via the Envy doors only. Admission is a mere £2.20 before 2300, rising to £3.20 after, and more information, including how to get yourself on the guest list, can be found on Facebook.
Southampton Indie label Sotones will be showcasing its roster with an all day shindig at The Hobbit this Saturday, 4th October. The line-up includes The Moulettes, Haunted Stereo, I See Sparks, Modernaire, Jackie Paper, Peter Lyons and Rob Skipper & the Musical Differences, with bands on-stage from 1400. The fun runs through till 0300, and entrance is FREE before 2200.
The Grand Final of The Wedgewood Rooms' Showcase 08 competition takes place tomorrow, Thursday 2nd September, and features Almeida, Melodramas, Rusty Sheriff & Friends, Holy Roller and Shegotsick. Good luck to all the bands taking part though, to re-use my lame Highlander reference of a few week's back, there can only be one winner. Doors open at 2000, admission is £5.
Funkt-If-Ino returns to The Wedgewood Rooms this Saturday, 4th October, for a night of classic funk, soul and disco courtesy of Boba Funk, Darth Fader, Chewbazza and Jabba (aka the Funkt-If-Ino All Stars). Doors open at 2200 with admission £5 before 2230, £6 after.
The Hobbit hosts a fund-raiser for Cancer Research this Sunday, 5th October, featuring live music from The Blue Stragglers, EverAfta, Indigo Sun and Still Frame. Bands start at 1800.
The Visitors, a six-piece folk-rock band, and Two Fingers Of Firewater, a five-piece roots combo, are the guest artists at this week's Roger Courtney's Open Mike Club. Doors open at The Barn at The Milton Arms at 1900 tomorrow, Thursday 2nd October, with guest performances starting at 2000; the Open Mike session follows at 2200. Admission is FREE!
And that's it for another week; today I was mostly listening to the Arctic Monkeys' back catalogue and The National's excellent long player, Alligator. Be sure to join me next week when I'll be .
