This weekend is a slightly quieter one than the last few we've had here in Lincoln, and seeing as I'm in a bit of a rush at the moment, this will be a rather swift rundown of the weekend's entertainment... There is a shorthand detailing of whats going on this weekend at the end of the post, as well as MySpace links for all the bands mentioned.
Firsty, for those who fancy an early start to the weekend, there are two wonderful gigs going on tonight, both really contrasting, both done in completely different ways. Refreshing to see... At 7 till 10, the Engine Shed plays host to Lincolnshire's own I Was A Cub Scout, with support from Rotary Ten. Its a 16+ gig, but as IWACS pointed out, thats pretty much "anyone gets in as long as you don't look 12". Its really great to see two "pet" bands of the city, as it were, playing together in a venue as daunting as the Engine Shed. Good luck to all involved! Also tonight, House Of Jealous Lovers returns to So:Luxe for only the second time, dragging another two bands up from London, and hoisting in support from Local lad Colin Barstow, or as he's better known, I Need To Discover. He'll be supporting the dirty, beat-ridden atmosphere of Bono Must Die, and the slightly more traditional tones of The Be Be See. Possibly the best two band names ever to be on the same bill? For £5, that all kicks of at 9, with bands playing from 10, interspersed with DJ sets from S!O!S! and Be Safe Be Scene. Here is the flier front and back.
Friday sees the Bivouac put on its usual splash of teenage enthusiasm. Kicking off at 8, High Society, Try My Shoes, and Kensal Rise all take to the stage. High Society come across from Birmingham, and seem the kind of band to appeal to fans of, say, The Horrors, The Libertines, The View, and The Vines. Fasionably tight yet ramshackle tunes blasted out with a typical indie-kid snarl. Worth making an effort to get to. There is also another smattering of bands playing at the Travellers Rest; Deaf Havana, Never So True, The Brownies and Rig Up Explosive. Unfortunately, I havn't had the time to listen to any of them so far. But feel free to have an explore yourself!
Saturday's lone regular provider of live music, RaW, comes back week in week out with rutheless energy, and this week is no exception. TV Kicks are headlining, with support from Lincoln-based Park Bench Theory. Park Bench Theory in paticular seem worth getting down to see. Promising, relaxed, lazy, bass-driven indie-rock with a strong vocalist. And there you have it, hope to see you around at some of those!
