This Week's Gigs: 8th - 14th November

Before I get on with what is on this week a quick thank to everyone that came down to The Classic Grand on Friday for our gig and a huge thanks to I build Collapsible Mountains, Come on Gang! and The Seventeenth Century for playing. They were all, of course, excellent.

Now, on to this week.

Wavves, Otherpeople, PAWS. The Arches (Tickets)

Not that keen on Wavves to be honest, but we like Otherpeople and PAWS loads. While I'm at it, you can grab a free download of Wooplash by Otherpeople over at Artrocker just now.
