Dananananaykroyd – Exeter Cavern // 8th November 2011

There’s some huge hitters playing in Bristol this week, but I’m assuming you already know that Bon Iver is going to be amazing and St Vincent will be dumbfounding. Instead I urge you to get along to Exeter Cavern to see Dananananaykroyd play one of their last ever dates. Let’s all get sweaty and hug.

Alkaline Trio – The Leadmill // 9th November 2011

It’s hard to believe the pop-punkers are now into their 15th year, but their live show can be expected to be as incendiary as ever. The nostalgic singalong for ‘Private Eye’ will be worth the asking price alone!

Cashier No.9– Deaf Institute  // 9th November 2011

Cashier No.9 are a wonderful find. Their debut album, released on Bella Union, is full of charming tunes that could easily warm a cold autumnal evening. Why not try for yourself this week at the Deaf Institute? Enjoy the bold melodies, catchy tunes and harmonies any band would kill for.
