Concert Listings Roundup #101

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.


Gigs of the week:

C.R.E.A.M. Afternoon All Ages (feat. Ken Park / NOIA / Pantayo / Petra Glynt / Tonkapuma / VCR) / Double Double Land 2015-06-20 (Saturday – PWYC!) [FB event]

C.R.E.A.M. Afternoon All Ages (feat. DOOMSQUAD / HATAW / Hooded Fang / Ice Cream / Lido Pimienta / Moss Lime) / Double Double Land 2015-06-21 (Sunday – PWYC!) [FB event]

There's an unusual amount of intriguing daytime stuff this weekend, but these ones are the, er, cream of the crop. Hailing back to the fabled DAPS all-ages shows (and presented by April Aliermo of Hooded Fang/Phèdre), there's a whole heap of excellent bands spread over these two days, and all are welcome to take them in.
