This weekend's Brunswick gigs

OK, so you're not heading down to Queenscliff for The Festival and you're not spending the weekend ensuring the right people get elected on Saturday and you wanna hang out in the Wick?

This is one of the biggest weekends ever, in terms of pure volume of alternatives. Too many to individually mention, but, depending on what you're up for, this week's Golden Parrot winner is Barb Waters, playing at the Lomond on Sunday.
