Last Thursday I took a trip to the mountains and enjoyed a very enjoyable day in fresh powder snow. Fast forward to today and I’m in shorts and flip-flops, pigging out on discounted chocolate bunnies. What do you Ronsters think? Is that it for winter, or can I pack my big coat away?

Weather aside, this week’s newsletter has something for the foodies, some grassroots music (which I think is very important) and, if you like a «Flohmi», then we’ve got one of those too. And finally, I have some tickets to give away to a show. Have a great weekend and…

Good Morning

Last Thursday I took a trip to the mountains and enjoyed a very enjoyable day in fresh powder snow. Fast forward to today and I’m in shorts and flip-flops, pigging out on discounted chocolate bunnies. What do you Ronsters think? Is that it for winter, or can I pack my big coat away?

Tuesday: Glasgow Rockers «The Twilight Sad» Hit Bogen F

 

It has been ten years since The Slow Show released their debut album, but to me it feels more like a decade. Anyway, the Manchester band are celebrating this anniversary with a special show at Kaufleuten this coming Tuesday.

If you want a chance to experience singer Rob Goodwin’s «croaky baritone» and their haunting songs live, then I have a pair of tickets to give away, courtesy of my good friends at allblues.ch. Click the button below to find out how.

Win, Win, Win

I seem to write about a lot of Tuesday night gigs. There always seems to be something going on at the smaller venues in town, and this week is no different as Glasgow post-punk/indie rockers The Twilight Sad visit Bogen F.

What are they like? Vocalist James Graham describes them as «folk music with layers of noise», which is a description I personally love. Don’t delay getting a ticket, though. They are already close to selling the final few.

Tuesday 8:30pm, Bogen F, Viaduktstrasse 97, 8005

Marty Supreme was bought out across the winter which stopped us all rushing out onto Zurich’s streets to try and replicate his exploits. But as the weather warms up we can get back into our favourite after work activity. There’s a perfect table whether you like a view or need a cold libation afterwards. And there is a bonus tip to find tables near to where you live.

It’s the beginning of April and everyone’s gone wild for wild garlic but no one wants to admit they can’t tell it apart from lily of the valley. Which matters, because one makes pesto and the other lands you in hospital. Five rules before you head out with your tote bag crew.
