This Week's Gigs: 25th - 31st October

Oh look, I'm back on time with a Sunday gig guide. Just as well as there's quite a lot happing on the blog tomorrow. Really this time, there'll be posts and stuff.

On with the gigs.

Monday:

Sugar Crisis, Her Royal Higness. Pivo Pivo. Free entry.

Oxjam: Fiona Soe Paing. the Arts Centre, Aberdeen. Tickets

Tuesday:

Glasgow Slow Club: Barn Owl, The Japanese War Effort. Bloc. Free entry.

45 A-Side Records are hijacking the Slow Club again this week to further promotion of the recently released Glad Cafe Fundraiser album with two of the bands involved playing tonight. Well, one band playing and a member pulling double duty. We really like The Japanese War Effort round here, and there's a half written review from Thursday Barn Owl gig sat here waiting for me to finish it, but we rather like them too.

Thursday:

A Band Called Quinn, The Low Miffs, Dead Boy Robotics . ABC2

Launch gig for A Band Called Quinn's rather gorgeous new album The Beggar's Opera. If you hurry you can pick up a copy of the album and a ticket for this gig for only a tenner. It'll be money well spent and the supports for the gig are pretty tasty too.

The Answering Machine, Futuristic Retro Champions, Little Eskimos, Rapids. King Tut's Wah Wah Hut. Tickets

Futuristic Retro Champions recently announced they'll be breaking up soon, so catch them while you can. You can get tickets a wee bit cheaper direct from them here.

Johnny Reb, Oscar Charlie, Los Tentakills. Nice N Sleazy.

Friday:

Pin Up Frights. The Flying Duck.

Previewed this one already, go look here to read a bit more and listen to songs by the bands playing on the night, PopUp, The Social Services and Endor.

Oxjam & Favourite Son Present... The Classic Grand.

Previewed this one too, just the other day. The Clyde, Kochka, Nevada Base and The Winter Tradition are on the bill, and there should be some raffle prizes on the go. Read the full preview here.
