Re: What gigs have you got coming up?

Spiritualized and Ride, Low and The Cinematic Orchestra on successive nights in Turin, Spiritualized in Vevey and then London, New Order and GSYBE in Munich, Sunn O))) and Caspar Brötzmann in Basel, and Pixies in Zürich. I think that's about it until the end of the year.
