Gig listings - April and May

In order to create a bit more optimistic mood after my last post, today I’m going to concentrate of what will be going on around Stoke in the next few months. There is not much of it, but still something.

Today, on Friday the 17th of April, the Sex Pistols Experience is playing at the Limelight in Crewe. If you don’t know the band let me explain: it’s a really good Sex Pistols tribute band, I have already written about them not long ago. The tickets are £9.

Next week, on April the 23rd which is obviousely St George’s Day, there will be quite a bit going on. The Duel and The New Subterraneans will be playing at the Norfolk Inn at 8pm, tickets are £4. There will also be another punk gig on that day, and this one is for free. Wasted Life will be playing at the Bennetts, at 8pm as well. There was supposed to be one more band playing with them, Anglo Saxon, but it’s just been announced we won’t see them then. O well then.

 The Duel

On the 27th of April, Rising Strike and Shot Baker will be to be seen at Harry’s Bar at 8.30pm, for £5. Rising Strike are, according to their myspace profile, a punk/ska/metal band from Stoke, Shot Baker are a punk/hardcore group from US. I haven’t heard much of those bands to be honest, but I think it might be a pretty good night anyway.

Rising Strike will be playing in the area again, on the 16th of May at the Rigger in Newcastle, along with a rock/metal band Exhibit A. Cost is to be confirmed yet.

And there will be one more punk gig in Stoke in May, on the 22nd Wasted Life will be playing, together with The Fortunas, at the Green Star in Smallthorne, Stoke, at 8pm.

So that’s it for now. Hope I see you at the gigs.
