This Week's Gigs: 1st - 7th August

How did it get to August already? Blimey, time flies when you sit on your arse for most of it.

Either this week is fairly quiet, or I've missed a lot. Consider this edited highlights if you like. There are a couple of crackers though.

Monday:

PAWS, Lady North, Vasquez. Sneaky Pete's. (Tickets)

Edinburgh leg of the PAWS/Lady North split single launch. Go, buy the single, enjoy.

Manatees, Divorce, Citizens, The Downs. Stereo. (Tickets)

Wednesday:

PAWS, Lady North, Hairy AREA. Captain's Rest. (Tickets)

See Monday, really.

MILK: Over The Wall, The Mouse That Ate The Cat, Team Kapowski. Flat0/1.

Why do these two both have to be on Wednesday? Coin toss needed, I think. TMATC release a new single on Monday, but more on that in the news post tomorrow.

Alright the Captain,What the Blood Revealed. Bloc.

Thursday:

Alright the Captain, Black International, Pensioner. Henry's Cellar Bar.

Ooh, splendid.

Friday:

Le Reno Amps, Chris Devotion and the Expectations, Cuddly Shark, Bad Bad Men. Stereo.

A return of sorts for the Barmellodie night. This will be your last chance to catch Le Reno Amps for quite some time, as one of them is heading off to China, making gigs somewhat tricky.

Tall Tales, The Honeymoon Period, The Belle Hops. 13th Note.

The Red Show, Underclass, Suspire. Maggie Mays.

Saturday:

F.O. Machete, Muscles of Joy. Stereo

Avast!, Verse Metrics, People, Places, Maps. Sneaky Pete's.

Sunday:

Scottish Independent Record Fair. Summerhall, Edinburgh.

Running from 1pm on Sunday, the record fair will have stalls from a bunch of Scottish indie labels, along with acoustic music and DJ sets all afternoon. More details here.

Born To Be Wide: Edinburgh Night. Electric Circus.

Kicking off at 7pm - so you could pop along after the record fair - the night will feature short ten minute taster sets from a number of local bands, including Lady North, Capitals, Rachel Sermanni, Withered Hand, and more. A wee bit more about this, including how you can earn yourself free entry, should be in the news post tomorrow.
