Concert Listings Roundup #48

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.


Gig of the week:

Canaille [reunion show!] / The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge) 2014-06-13 (Friday – early!) [FB event]

Ethio-surf-groove jazz unit Canaille were always a delight to hear, both on stage and on their tasty albums. With west coast expat Daniel Gaucher in town for a bit, leader Jeremy Strachen is putting the band back together after a couple years. With some of the city's finest players at every position, you can expect the band to pick up right where they left off.
