Gigs: Jan 17th to 23rd

It awakes! Slowly, despite two hundred degree temperatures ("that's why they call me Mr Fahrenheit" - small prize for correctly sourcing that lyric), the Melbourne music scene is stirring, creaking back into its standard liver- and eardrum-destroying whirlwind.

Saturday, especially, is ridiculously huge. Look at the Super 8 Diaries Fundraiser, in obvious top place as gig of the week. Also Saturday afternoon is Sneak Peek at the Rob Roy, ten good young bands for twelve bucks. And then that night is Because of Ghosts at the East, for some instrumental post-rock cleverness, or The Bakelite Age at the Tote for rockin' out just a little more. Deloris on Friday night will be very good, and the gig next Tuesday with Laura Veirs supported by Jen Cloher and Emily Ulman is another corker.

Ouch.

Gig o' the Week



Eddy Current Suppression Ring
with The Tigers (WA)
and Tucker Bs (NSW)
also Witch Hats
plus bang!bang!aids!
and Fabulous Diamonds
and Batrider
and Pikelet
and Aleks (without The Ramps)
and Quebec
and DJ Matt Blackman
what? Super 8 Diaries Fundraiser
at Wooden Shadow Gallery
where? 49 Coppin St, Richmond
on Saturday 20th January
from 3pm till midnight
for $10
with all ages allowed

Um. Yeah. 10 bucks. 10 bands. And a Blackman. Not sure what else can be said. It'll start out pretty mellow with Aleks solo and Pikelet before building into screechy steel guitars and belted tom beats. You may need to sleep in before this one, and after, cause it'll take it outta ya.
