GIG GUIDE<br />
GIG OF THE MONTH<br />
If you like your music fast, skanky and of a topical bent,<br />
check out the Meow Meows, Brighton’s best ska/punk<br />
band since The Piranhas, and who are doing a fairly<br />
extensive tour to publicise their third album, Meow Meows<br />
on the Moon. They’re a fantastic live band, their pumped<br />
up brass section adding a whole lot of oomph to their<br />
offbeat dance sound, while singers Anna and Danny tell it<br />
how it is in songs like Friends on Benefits (check out their<br />
vid on meowmeows.com). They’ve played at the Con<br />
Club before, and if it’s anything like last time, the place<br />
will be jumping. Highly recommended.<br />
Sat 4th <strong>June</strong>, Con Club, 8pm, free.<br />
