This Weekend's Brunswick Music Guide

There's lots of choices this weekend, and it's expected that all readers of this blog will be out in full force to see Perico for possibly the last time in their current form, but certainly the last time until "The Christmas Show". Perico come on at about 8pm, but the fete is worth checking out anyway from 3:30pm onwards.

Saturday afternoon's Retreat line-up features the loud and proud Lonely Hearts at 5pm before the T-Bones and the Ambassadors of this Olde School round out a solid early evening.

It's Sunday that really prooves why Brunswick really is Australia's music capital and why people like Andrew Bolt should spend more time here. (Actually, on second thoughts, he shouldn't ever be allowed to even enter the post code without prior permission). The Nuclear Free Benefit at the Cornish should be a blast, but it's not free. For free stuff, head to the Brunswick Hotel just because they've come up with the name "Whole Gamut Accoustic Club". What extra things do you put into an accoustic evening to make it the whole gamut, rather than just a part gamut or normal accoustic club? Do you add amplifiers, drums and a 6-piece wind section?

Meanwhile, the Retreat just keeps pulling us back and that dammed Golden Parrot is proving impossible to unbolt. So Susannah Espie on Sunday night gets the nod for this week's trophy.
