Big Day Out – across Australia and NZ starting next week.

Well der. Iggy Pop, The White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, Kings of Leon, The Mars Volta… Need i say more? Most acts are doing side shows too.

Modular Big Day Out after party – The Basement, 10pm 26th January

I don’t know about the official after party – but this ought to be better.
Tix only available on the door. I hear rumours of a Franz Ferdinand appearance…

Deerhoof and Calvin Johnson – Glebe Town Hall, 15th Feb

People rave about Deerhoof, i’m sure they’re good, but i’m just curious to see the venue. UPDATE: PopFrenzy just updated their website to remove reference to Deerhoof for this show and replaced it with “Special Guests”. Not sure what that means.They’re doing their own show at Spectrum either way.

Diplo – Mandarin Club, 18th Feb

The so-hot-right-now DJ/producer/remixer type. I’ve no idea how you’d classify his music style. Listen to his remix of Kanye West’s Golddigger for an idea.

Les Savy Fav – The Gaelic Club, 25th Feb

Best frontman in rock. Best Sydney gig of 2005. They’re also playing with critical darlings The Hold Steady and Thunderbirds Are Now! You must see this lest your friends berate you for months after saying how awesome it was.

Jens Lekman – playing on a boat on Sydney Harbour for PopFrenzy March 4th

This swedish crooner will make you go weak in the knees. If he doesn’t the views of Sydney harbour will. Or sea sickness. I saw him last year and loved it.

St Jerome’s Laneway Festival – Sydney City, 5th March

Lots of good bands take over the streets of Sydney

U2 – March

I pretend to be all cool with my indie rock gigs, but i’m a big daggy U2 fan at heart. I’ve seen them previously in Sydney, London, Dublin and New York. You could say i kinda like these guys. All shows are sold out but beg borrow or steal to get to this.

Well there ya go – lots of live music to get excited about. And that’s just the international stuff, no doubt there’ll be plenty of local acts to knock your socks off too.
