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:
Zacht Automaat [Record Release!] (Doc Dunn / Coca Cola / Double Double Land 2013-12-28 (Saturday) [FB event]
ZA gigs are rare enough that each one qualifies as an event, but with this one acting as a celebration of their amazing double vinyl compilation, it's even more of an occasion. Come out and celebrate all your prog hopes and kosmische dreams with what will henceforth hopefully no longer perennially be referred to as "one of the city's best-kept secrets". And that's saying nothing of the fact that the mighty Doc Dunn is also celebrating a new release as well.
