Tours in January

January's a little quiet for local gigs, but internationals from the Northern Hemisphere love wandering down to sun themselves on our gorgeous women, and chase our beautiful beaches. Here's some things you may want to get tickets to right now:

Colin Hay, two sets
@ The Corner, Friday 12th, $27.50+bf

- I know, he's not international. But he was on Scrubs! And he wrote some song called Land Down Under. But don't crucify him for that.

Kaki King w/ Emily Williams
@ Northcote Social Club, Saturday 13th, $20+bf

Tenacious D
@ Festival Hall, Friday 19th, $72+bf

- The gags are still funny, believe it or not.

Laura Veirs w/ Jen Cloher
@ The Corner, Tuesday 23rd, $32+bf

Andrew Bird
@ Northcote Social Club, Wednesday 24th, $25+bf

- Great songs, apparently amazing live.

Lupe Fiasco w/ Foreign Heights
@ The Prince, Friday 26th, $44+bf

Joanna Newsom
@ The Forum, Tuesday 30th, $50.50+bf

- I know, you can't stand her voice. Try listening to Ys. And Bill Callahan may appear - his other show's sold out, you know.

Lily Allen
@ The Metro, Monday 29th, $54.40+bf

- She's not a great performer, it'll be full of pop-kids, you'll feel bad going to the Metro. But LDN is too enjoyable to stay away!

Roger Waters
@ Rod Laver, Thursday Feb 1st and Friday Feb 2nd, up to $350+bf (!)

The best one, which is actually in Feb:

Neko Case
@ The Prince, Friday Feb 2nd, $46+bf

- She was fun with The New Pornographers, but her solo stuff is different; deep, dark and country, it really shows off her huge voice.

And the pick of the BDO sideshows:

My Chemical Romance
@ Festival Hall, Monday 29th, $56.50+bf

John Cooper Clarke
@ The National Theatre, Tuesday 30th

Hot Chip
@ The Corner, Tuesday 30th, $38.50+bf

Tool
@ Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Wednesday 31st, SOLD OUT!

The Streets w/ Muph n Plutonic
@ The Prince, Thursday Feb 1st, $60.50+bf

So sink your teeth into that little lot.
