Daisy Rodgers Promotions always puts on good gigs, and their latest one, on Friday 26 October isn’t breaking the trend. The line-up bundles together ‘Voodoo Sci-fi blues’ from Vienna Ditto, indie rock from Go Romano and krautrock-tinged instrumentals from Listing Ships. Daisy Rodgers also run a competition to choose a cover version for one of the bands to play – fingers crossed Listing Ships are set to perform Sir Mixalot’s ‘Baby Got Back’…

Plenty to choose from if you’re after an Oxford gig on Saturday 27 October: ex-Supergrass hairy legend Gaz Coombes at the O2 Academy 2; excellent songwriting all over the shop (literally) as Richard Walters, Family Machine and Phil McMinn do an in-store at Truck on Cowley Road; hip indie fun at The Jericho with Bright Light Bright Light, Secret Rivals and After The Thought; the latest eclectic Gappy Tooth Industries gig at The Wheatsheaf with Red Valve, One Man Team Dance and Lewis Newcombe; the refined Elysian Quartet string ensemble at St John the Evangelist Church; and finally, for the sadists amongst you, Bowling For Soup at O2 Academy. Take your pick!

Legendary Scottish pop-folk duo The Proclaimers will be at the O2 Academy on Thursday 1 November. Something something something about walking five hundred miles to get to the gig… if you’re going, you can tell your friends that you’ll be ‘On My Way’ as you’re travelling there. No end of jokes here, folks. But The Proclaimers are actually really good, despite being oft-written off as a bit of a joke!

There’s something called Punkolympia taking place on Saturday 3 November at The Cellar in Oxford: “A night of local punk rock faves to celebrate a truly historical year” is how the organisers describe the event. If that sounds like your cup o’spit then it kicks off from 5.30 pm until 11.00 pm, and includes performances from The Twat Daddies, The Barmy Army, Nuclear Skyline, The Great Big Bargain, Big Society, Cocaine Cowboys, Jane Likes Books, Mar and Beaver Fuel. “It’s like punk never happened” is a thing that some people say. For this gig, it’ll be more like punk happened and then nothing else changed in the last thirty years…

Full details of these and loads more gigs can be found in the events calendar.
