Cool underground sounds to be heard on Friday 23 November at the latest in the regular Basement Session series at Modern Art Oxford. ‘Experimental pop’ band Laurel Collective will be supported by the very clearly-named electro-indie-popsters Peter & Kerry and After The Thought, the solo multi-instrumentalist/electronica project of Matt, one of Truck Store’s staff!

‘The Feast Of Novembris Mensis’ is a one-off gig being run by independent foodies Oxfork on Friday 23 November. To be held at the quirky, beautiful venue that is The Rotunda in Oxford, it’s an opportunity to enjoy music by Ralfe Band and Rhosyn and, most excitingly, some mulled wine or hot chocolate included in the ticket price! You can even pay a little more to precede the gig with dinner laid on by Oxfork.

A bit of a homecoming event on Sunday 25 November at The Cellar in Oxford: Chad Valley, who has been touring the world and recently released the fantastic Young Hunger album, will be supported by fellow Blessing Force cohorts – and similarly refined melody maestros – Trophy Wife and Solid Gold Dragons. It’s likely to be nice and busy, despite being on a Sunday night!

Frank Turner was seen entertaining 27 million UK viewers when he took part in the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony earlier this year – with members of Oxford’s Dive Dive in his band. Hopefully all of those viewers won’t turn up at once on Monday 26 November, when Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls play O2 Academy in Oxford.

Noisy melody-botherers Hot Hooves launch their new album Fake Modern Art with a gig at The Cellar in Oxford on Thursday 29 November. They’ll be supported by stalwart rock monsters X-1 and youthful indie rockers Yellow Fever.

Help support the Cowley Road Carnival organisers by attending their fundraiser gig, Jouvert!, on Friday 30 November at Oxford’s O2 Academy. Compèred by Asher Dust, the gig has a line-up including electro beatsman Death Of Hi-fi, sketchy indie kids Secret Rivals, get-up-and-dance sounds from Skylarkin’ Soundsystem and the Cuban big band Ran Kan Kan. It’s all helping to raise money to stage the Carnival in 2013.

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