Thursday the 7th

Apart from the Gertrude's gig I mentioned earlier today, there are also a range of other high quality options for your Thursday night. The glorious Art of Fighting return for another headline gig up High St way, while in the City there'll be a sunset showdown soundtrack from the fantastic Wagons. A new band night is debuting at Revolver with Spider Vomit and an international mystery guest (???) as the debutants, while over at the Glasshouse in Collingwood there is another band night which has been booking some great acts. This time its headlined by riot grrlish Teko. The Prince should be reasonable too with UK electro rock group Infadels.

Friday the 8th

Tenniscoats add to the huge number of Japanese bands that have come our way, and like their countrymen Yura Yura Teikoku, they have some great supports. The Fauves' 1000th show should be an awesome affair, and bound to provide you with a few chuckles as well. A pub crowd with a range of psych, pub rock and indie pop at the Tote, while there'll be a party crowd with the post-punk influenced bands at Roxanne. It's almost always interesting at the Afterdark and Gertrudes, one of the bands at Pony, Tiger by the Tail was plugged by Missing Link in that Nokia recommendations thing, while mellower country and folky arrangements at the Toff. Gig of the week is on tonight too.

Saturday the 9th

The Espy is hosting one of its pre public holiday parties, although this one comes a day earlier. At the Tote there is also a big lineup - this one is for a chick whose gear was stolen. Tenniscoats back it up at eveyone's favourite all ages venue - Cloud City, and they have another couple of good support acts along for the ride. Zulya, the new Melbourne goddess of Balkan music is launching her album with her underground kiddies at Toff. Vocal nodes will be severely damaged with the angriest performers in Melbourne , and new favourites of some, Young and Restless launching a new record at NSC, while for calmer alt rock tastes try the Empress or the East. If money is tight try the free gig at Greyhound, while there'll be definite casualties with the late night headliner at Pony.
