The gigs are back with a vengeance, with 46 shows this month covering just about all styles – I’m fascinated by Indian folk metal – and taking place in all the venues in town. In fact, there are only a handful of days this month without a show. Don’t forget – when you go to a gig, buy a T-shirt and pick up a vinyl or CD to listen to and treasure at home. It helps bands out in a big way.
