Bands 'n Stuff: Jan 31 to Feb 6

After an enormous long weekend including a huge number of international touring acts here for the BDO and other stuff, there appears to be a relatively quiet week of live acts to welcome in the 2nd month of 07. Neko is here of course with a couple of shows (BTW if anyone's keen I need to get rid of my ticket to the Prince show. Send ATR an email) and there should be a bagful of goodies at the Damo Suzuki extravaganza at the Rob Roy on Thursday. For the whole family we welcome the return of the St Kilda Festival on Sunday with a variety of different stuff, although remember to slip, slop, slap because it looks like it will be another scorcher. One other act which I'm definitely keen on catching is Julian Nation who will be entertaining the Click Click crowd on Saturday. Apparently Crouchy from Candle has slated Jules for big things in 07.

Gig o' the Week...



Blue Ruin
+The Kill Devil Hills
+Black Pony Express
+James McCann and the Dirty Skirts
@The Corner, Saturday 8pm, $26
Here is a bunch of quality acts headlined by Blue Ruin who are celebrating their 20th anniversary. I would love to go to this gig but unfortunately can't make it so please can someone go and let us know how it was. Don't let the price tag put you off. This will be worth it.

Apparently St Kilda Festival Day is this Sunday and wasn't on yesterday. Bad luck if anyone went down there based on our advice.
