GIGS

Sunday 13th May
Mikelangelo & the Tin Star

Yep, this guy sure has a pretty sultry voice. Shows at the Vanguard are always worth checking out, and it's nice to see the men still representing the venue (and not getting scared away by the daring divas often found performing there). The Vanguard, Newtown $23.80 - $53.80 (including eats) +BF

Sunday 20th May
Jill Birt and Alsy MacDonald + Morning Night, Big Smoky

If you don't recognise the names, you may recognise the band they're most well known for playing with – The Triffids. Alsy was the drummer, Jill was the keyboardist, they fell in love.
I can't resist a good love story, and I also can't resist seeing true Australian rock legends live.
The Vanguard, Newtown $28.80 - $63.80 (including eats) +BF.

Thursday 17th May
How To Survive A Bullfight, Jesus Christ Posse, The Braves, The Reflections

This is one of those times when there simply aren't enough gigs on in the Inner West.
I love the names of these bands, so without knowing a thing about them (and without caring to know), I heartily recommend this event to you. The Valve, Tempe.
