Screw Xmas shopping - go to gigs instead!
This is a great double bill: Phobophobes and Guru take to the stage at The Hope & Ruin in Brighton on Tuesday night.
My geography isnotoriously bad so I don’t know where Bury St Edmunds is, but it’sworth getting there on Saturday if possible for the last WashingMachine club night of the year. Music from Gaffa Tape Sandy, BeachRiot, Cutting Ties and more. Cheaper if you buy in advance.
Dizraeli’s tourstarts on Tuesday, taking in Birmingham, Bristol, Totnes and Londonthis week.
Calva Louise carryon their short run of shows this week in Glasgow, Birmingham andLondon. Gaygirl are supporting.
Bad Breeding also have a short tour of their own, reaching Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester and London. The sold-out Moth Club show also includes Metz and John, so keep a very keen eye out for any returned tickets.
Also good forManchester readers is the Flat World Theory show in Salford onSaturday. Support comes from Palava, The Battery Farm and HollywoodEyes.
The Widows supportJohnny Moped at The Water Rats on Saturday. Includes a conversationwith Tony Drayton about zine culture in the ‘70s, which is prettycool.
Free entry at theOld Blue Last on Tuesday for Fabricators, Nerves and Slender Pins.
Also free entry atthe Shacklewell Arms on Sunday for Fake Turins, Mamuthones and Sonsof Viljems.
