This Week's Gigs: 21st - 27th February

We've been a bit quiet and crap this week, sorry. Our excuse is that we've been out at loads of gigs instead of sitting at home writing about bands, so let us off this time, please?
Here's what is going on this week, most of which I can't afford to go to.
As usual if I miss something then no one told me about it. You can let me know about any upcoming gigs by emailing gigs@ayetunes.org.uk and I won't miss them out.

Monday:
French Wives. LOVEmusic, 5pm, free.
French Wives release their first EP Feel Safe Small on Monday, and celebrate with an instore gig at LOVEmusic (the shop formerly known as Avalanche for those not paying attention) at 5pm.

Tuesday:
theapplesofenergy. Mono, free.
Wolf People, Figure 5, Hidden Masters. The Captain's Rest. (Tickets)

Wednesday:
The Shape of Folk To Come: Shambles Miller, Shooting Stansfield, Lovers Turn to Monsters. Slouch, free.
Pete Lawrie, Bear Bones. The Captain's Rest.

Thursday:
Read a wee bit more about this, and the Edinburgh gig on Saturday here.
This should be a good one, the line up is ace. Catch some video previews of the bands involved here.
2:54, Johnny Reb. The Arches
Cheap tickets available if you contact Johnny Reb (johnnyrebmusik (at) yahoo.com), tell 'em I sent you
Blonde Louis, The Corleones, The Replay, The Boy Next Door. King Tut's (Tickets)

Friday:
Visit the SAMA website for all the details, and to vote.
Pin Ups Ladies Night. The Flying Duck.
You should know by now that we love the Pin Ups crew. As usual there's an excellent selection of DJs along with live sets from Hannah Peel, Any Color Black and Boycotts. All the details and tickets on the Pin Ups website.

Saturday:
Burnt Island. Avalanche, Edinburgh.
Free instore gig as part of Chaffinch Records taking part in Avalanche's Scottish Label week.
Night Noise Team. Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh.
Night Noise Team also happen to have a brand spanking new website, go have a look.
This will also be ace. Being poor is rubbish.

Sunday:
More aceness with a trio of bands we really like round here.
John Knox Sex Club. Captain's Rest

  1. A friend of mine who is a very talented singer-songwriter and his band are playing as part of the line up at the Liquid Ship on Friday. The band is called Potential Strangers, they have a website (www.potentialstrangers.com) with some songs and are on myspace too. I've seen them quite a few times and they are seriously good.

    Doors open 8.30 but the music probably won't start until 9 or so.
