Live Music This Weekend - Friday 29th of January, 2010

The Cambodian Space Project and Ritchy & Phil are totally dominatig the live music scene this week with a total of 8 gigs coming up for the two bands over the next couple of weeks. The Hellhounds gigs at Sharkys have been extended for every Thursday in the month of February - anybody appreciating blues, cajun and a bit of twisted country should get down there.

I was speaking with Hong You this morning about Harkte amplifiers - he is thinking of importing them into the country. Being that they are going to fetch a relatively higher price tag, it will take some convincing for him to take the plunge. If you think it is a good idea then I suggest you pop your head into his shop and let him know. His place can be found on the map here.
