The Guess Who are supposed to be playing in a restaurant tonight. But it's the Guess Who without the Bachman and Cummimgs, which sort of explains why they're playing in a restaurant. They're charging $55 anyway. Think I'll pass ....
Bonnie Prince Billy at the RFH londom. First time I've seen the great Will Oldham. writer of I See A Darknesss, which some of will know from The Johnny Cash version on the Rick Rubin recordings. also my first gig in almost a year.
Neil Young at Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, smallish venue ...

AC/DC at BC Place in Vancouver late August. Also, Chickenfoot, the new band with Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith of the Chilipeppers. They're playing the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver next month. Only doing a handful of shows in North America before going to Europe.
King Sunny Adé and his African Beats, next month in Victoria, Canada.
