Concert Listings Roundup #181

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:

Tranzac New Years Eve Party (feat. Casper Skulls / Doldrums / Man Made Hill / Picastro / Isla Craig / Petra Glynt / New Chance) / The Tranzac 2016-12-31 (Saturday) [FB event]

A bit of a no-brainer here, despite a plethora of excellent Boxing Week food drives and fundraisers. A night with several moods, from Man Made Hill's repetitive party jams to Picastro's, um, implied party jams, the Tranzac always offers a jerk-free vibe and musical succour on NYE.
