Dom Haley selects his top three gigs for the week ahead


Monday 7th May
Bass Drum of Death @ Old Blue Last

Bass Drum of Death - Heart Attack Kid by Glazart

Hailing from Oxford, Mississppi, Bass Drum of Death are a duo made up of Colin Sneed and John Barrett making bluesy garage rock of the toughest, loudest and most hard-drinking variety.

Wednesday 9th May
Friends @ Scala

Friends - I'm His Girl (Live in Session, BBC Radio 1) by The Line Of Best Fit

Almost like some resurrected version of the Delta 5 or ESG, Friends are a timely reminder that post punk can be sexy, groove-laden, and cool without the some bloke with a fringe staring into the middle distance and pretending he's Ian Curtis.

Friday 11th May
Just a Crush @ The Waiting Room

Fair Ohs - Hospitals by Suplex

If you're the sort of person who likes nothing more than hanging round your bedroom drinking coca cola and swooning over indie heart-throbs, then new blog/club night Just A Crush is the night for you! Tonight they host their first ever live event at The Waiting Room with sets from Colours, Fair Ohs and Virginia Wing.
