Concert Listings Roundup #177

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:

New Fries [More 10" record release] (Private Joy / Carl Didur / Fountain) / The Garrison 2016-12-01 (Thursday) [FB event]

With a new 10" (out on Telephone Explosion), New Fries are ready to celebrate with a night of weird and adventurous sounds. Get ready for push/pull rhythms, stop/start dynamics and possibly some art-adventure flourishes. Great supporting cast, too, including the always-essential Carl Didur.
