Hey, The gig guide has a slightly new look now - I have split the gigs into sections that are entitled by the day of the week and the date - I hope it is an improvement. The live music scene is not only expanding in terms of the number of bands but also in area. This week sees gigs in Siem Reap, Kep, and Kampot. The Kampot gig is the outdoor concert put on by the Cambodian Space Project. The concert will occur at the village of Seyma (just over the river from the main town not far from the Boddhi Villa) and will involve the band plus an array of other singers and performers spanning the afternoon and deep into Saturday night and Sunday morning. If you are needing transport down there then a bus has been arranged which will leave from the riverfront (in front of La Croisette) at 9:00AM on Saturday morning and return by 6:00PM the following day. In Siem Reap this weekend you can catch not only the half-marathon but also Phil Manning who will be at the FCC Angkor and Los Poporks who will be playing on pub street in front of the Banana Leaf. They should be two totally great gigs and I urge you to catch them if you are a local live music enthusiast or if up there for Sunday's run. At Robiep continue their tour of Cambodia in Kep at the Kukuluku Bar and hopefully might make an appearance at the outdoor concert in Kampot - since it is only just down the road ;o). Other great gigs this weekend include the Bluesberry Jam who will make their return gig at MetaHouse. Also, if you are in Phnom Penh over the weekend then you can catch the Stiff Little Punks at The Cavern as their expanded line-up is being filmed by a German TV crew for a documentary. The FCC Phnom Penh and Chow continue their support of the live music scene with a series of 7 gigs for December. Cool! If it is a great DJ party you are looking for then Rubies Masked Mischief party with Dr. Wah Wah will be totally worth catching on Saturday night. Here's this weeks' gig guide. |
