Daim's Gig Guide
July. Summer. Festival season. The place should be empty but look! What's this? This may well be the month the bank manager calls me in to have a word. Enjoy!
So, here we go with May's gig guide, which includes the good and the bad, but mainly the most ridiculous collection of band names ever assembled in one place.
1st. Melkweg. The Raconteurs. Let there be mullets. John Butler Trio. Let there be roots and jam. Plenty of jam. Paradiso. Live. Let them be for heaven's sake. Comets On Fire. Let their be young kids with guitars. Westerpark. Radiohead. Let there be wonder and awe.
2nd. 5 Days Off starts today, if you're interested. As part of that, in the Melkweg. Mr Oizo. Because adverts are friends of ours. Paradiso. Duffy. Welsh girls can sing. Westerpark. REM. Because being depressed never sounded so good.
3rd. Westerpark. Massive Attack. Because your senses need mangling.
4th. 5 Days Off gives you Roni Size and Reprazent in the Melkweg. Drums and bass and plenty of them. Westerpark. Nelly Furtado. Squeal.
6th. Finish your five days off with CSS in the Paradiso. Brazilians are mad. In a good way.
7th. Paradiso. An Evening With Ben Harper. Could be special. Carré. Willy Deville. Tattooed country.
8th. Paradiso. My Morning Jacket. When voices are good. Westerpark. Mika. When voices are squeaky.
9th. Melkweg. Jason Mraz. Radio friendly. N.E.R.D. Why?
10th. Melkweg. Death Cab For Cutie. Indie goodness.
11th. Melkweg. Dinosaur Jr. Indie greatness.
12th. Melkweg. Ted Nugent. For rock dads. 13th. Westerpark. Leonard Cohen. For everyone else.
13th. Melkweg. Wu Tang Clan. Because they don't make enough money selling clothes.
14th. Paradiso. The Dandy Warhols. Because adverts are our friends too.
15th. Melkweg. The Butthole Surfers. Still surfing.
16th. Melkweg. Ice Cube. NWA. Paradiso. Blondie. Pop at its best.
18th. Paradiso. The B52's. Mad as a badger.
24th. Melkweg. The Adolescents. Punk never dies. It just comes back for more money. Eddy Grant and the Frontline Orchestra. You gotta rock don't do….heh heh, now try getting that out of your head.
25th. Paradiso. Jasmine and the Jack Stafford Foundation. Local heroes.
28th. Paradiso. Billy Idol. Bleach.
29th. Melkweg. Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy. When country was alt.
