Bands 'n Stuff: May 23 to 29

Been busy this week so I'm afraid my comments are few and far between.

GIG O' THE WEEK

Pikelet
Fabulous Diamonds
Francis Plagne
Josh Armistead
@Cloud City, Saturday


She's everywhere. You can even read all about her below. One of the supports, experimental duo Fabulous Diamonds have a buzz about them too.


Wednesday the 23rd

It's hard to go past the rock spectacular that is Salmon. If not I'd probably go with the Townes van Zandt thing or go and see Little Red on one of their last Tote residency gigs.

Friday the 25th

This time last week New Estate would have been gig of the week, but I'm afraid I was a bit dissappointed by them at the Hi-Fi Bar for their support gig for CHYSY, but here's your opportunity to make up your own mind over at Exile on Smith St. Ex Sleepy Township bandmates are one of the supports with new band Panel of Judges.

If not heading here, there's lots of alternatives as always. I'd probably go for Julian Nation who plays his first gig in a while. Silver Ray appeals too, and a reasonable lineup at the Tote.
