David — Thu, 24 May 2007 05:02:53 GMT

The worst thing about the cool gigs that are lined up this weekend is that i will not be here to see any of them. But the best part is that I will be away in the ountains for the weekend, relaxing for a change. Nice.

The Weekend and Beyond!

David — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 03:42:58 GMT

So, next Wednesday is a pubic holiday, so this weeks gig guide runs all the way out to next Tuesday 20 March... so you can plan how to get wasted when you don't have to go to work on Wednesday 21 march!

Also, of course, there are tonnes of gigs missing. Please be a sport and add them into the comments for the edification of your fellow readers (all 3 of them!)

I can seriously recommend the New Academics album launch on Friday night, DJ Krush on Tuesday night in JHB and The Diesel Whores show in CT on Friday night... but for your taste, there are plenty of others!

Voting closes today for the 2007 Blog awards, so if you haven't voted for The Chiz as the best Music Blog in SA yet, please do! (there is a button in the left hand tool bar)

Otherwise, have a wonderful weekend! Happy St Patrick's Day, enjoy the rugby and the cricket and the weekend shopping! May the Paradise bird of happiness perch on your shoulder and the chicken of depression not shit on your shoes!
