This (long) weekend in the Wick

A four day gig guide this week given that should test the staunchest Wicker. The Vasco Era come to the East on Saturday night and have to be a serious contender for the Golden parrot this week as does Yanto Shortis who appears the Retreat on Sunday arvo. But then there's something particularly special about going out drinking and watching bands on a Monday night and pericoloco encourages this. Down a dozen pots at the Brunswick on Monday night and catch Dalys Hill and the Ben Smith Band for free.

Those of you disappearing for a few days over the really long weekend (how do so many people manage to get Monday off work?), make sure you're back on Cup Day. The East is putting on a PBS Cup Day special more $10 with more bands than Damo has cigarette stains. Better still, head to the 3rd anniversary party at the Retreat, starting at 5pm, for free. Look out for the Golden Parrot which couldn't be anywhere else on such a memorable occasion.
