Four gigs to remind you of this week, a very busy week indeed (before another
well-needed break):

10.30pm curfew), £6 / £5 for mailing-list members

HIRED MUSCLE - from the ever-exciting Bletchley (a bit like the Livingston of
the South), guitar bass drums and vocals, no effects. Tons of riffs. Short
songs. Mostly funky but some weird time signatures. Used to be called Dawn
Chorus when they first played here with Riotmen 3 years ago (the only band who
were ever forced to play 5 consecutive encores in Henry's)

LOINSTORM - new band, familiar faces (members or ex-members from Senator,
Badgewearer, Oi Polloi, Moniack, etc), playing their second gig (the first one
was supporting Blurt last year, for those who were there...), now with added
vocals

OKKER - http://www.myspace.com/okkero
