Bands 'n Stuff: Jan 24th to 30th

If you're not planning on skipping town for a dirty/boozy weekend or the gluttonous BBQ season has your calendar chockers , I suggest you step out of the front door and find a nice bit of sticky carpet somewhere because there is a enormous amount of live musical options to enjoy in Melbourne town over the next seven days.

Talented foreigners are some of the highlights for me (Bird, Callahan, Newsom), but there are also are a number of huge multi band extravaganzas to coincide with the public holiday and eve festivities. If you are still in a reasonable state on Friday evening Collingwood looks like it will be the place to be. Those who like their tunes a little darker should head to the Tote where Jarvis, Witch Hats, Because of Ghosts and a few will be cranking up an indie rock feast, while across on Exile on Smith Actor/Model will play their last show before their debut EP is released. Iberian electro popsters, The Pinkertones headline. But for gig 'o the week there should be something for everyone down at the Espy on Thursday night. Check it out!

Nice pics. A couple of us from ATR headed down to the Espy. Midnight Juggernauts played a very energetic set in the Gershwin Room. My Disco were good as always, and I was quite impressed with Jarvis also.
