Is it summer yet?? Plenty more live music anyway...

Last Saturday I made it to the Celtic Boys club to see a few bands on-stage, including great sets from Indianapolis and The GetDowns. Each of these 2 provided quality live music in their own different ways: Indianapolis with solid, belting anthems, and The GetDowns with raw energy and unpredictability. Talking of unpredictable, the fighting spoiled things, and I hear the PA blew up later, meaning Sunday's bonanza didn't go ahead as planned...

Live music is buzzing in Dundee as ever, eg: just take tomorrow night...

• Dexters have an Acoustic evening, featuring Beth Wilmshurst + Paula Knight + Rachel Anderson
• Yuppies have Indianapolis + Gravity Graced
• Laings have BOTB final with Clockwork Guns + Sugarhouse Wynd + Dutch Courage + The Stoptracks + One Track Winter + The Debutants
• And where I'll be : Drouthy Neebors, where Gerry Jablonski is playing

This Saturday sees the "Hair of the Dog" Bike Rally @ Doghouse . . . Peski Kings + Page 6 + The Daze @ Drouthy's . . .

See much more on the site...
