Gigs of the week

Okay. It’s Monday. Mondays suck. It’s official...Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays usually ain’t too hot either. But cheer up. If you’re Birmingham based there are a couple of cracking gigs this week at the Hare and Hounds. Wednesday sees feel good Cali-rap legends Ugly Duckling throw down some good times and, quite possibly, get fresh with a young lady or two on stage. On Thursday you’ve got the electropoptastic ‘fruit of Sting’s loins’ fronted I Blame Coco. I’ve seen the ‘Duckling before and can pretty much guarantee that you’ll be a-waving your ‘hands in the air like you just don’t care’ within 60 seconds. As for Coco, if the vids I’ve seen are anything to go by we’re info for some sassy synth smashingness...try saying that after a pint or two of cider. Enjoy.
