Dream Wife
With the world watching the President elect, Getintothis’ Craig MacDonald finds far more exciting events closer to home.
After what seems like an eternity for some of us, the wait is finally over.
No, we are not talking about the racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic degenerate about to be as useful as a chocolate fireguard across the pond, but about this weeks gig guide of course!
With a plethora of fresh talent, indie darlings galore and not to mention a royal rumble to make the Ultimate Warrior think twice about entering, this weeks guide is crammed full of delights.
So have a blast through our playlist, pick which ones you like the look of and swerve Donald and his derogatory disciples for now.

Upcoming Events to keep an eye on
Wild Fruit Art Collective
Wild Fruit Art Collective: District, January 28
The flourishing sounds of gloom infused indie rockers Wild Fruit Art Collective are all set to cast their spell far and wide this year, with their feral beast set to decimate the Baltic at the end of the month. With Madonnatron, Rongorongo and Pit Ponies all on the bill, this has winner branded to its face.
Natalie McCool: 24 Kitchen Street, March 17
Hoping to build her own Fortress at 24 Kitchen Street in Spring, Natalie McCool returns home as part of her latest UK tour. With praise a plenty for her latest album, this date should be a full house if her last show was anything to go by.
Don Bikoff: HUS, May 18
The latest venue in town plays host to one of the finest artists to come from the often overlooked American Primitive world later this year, as Don Bikoff plays a rare date on our shores. His debut album Celestial Explosion is steeped in acclaim and some forty five years later, he released his sophomore album to much adulation. If you looking for a hidden gem, this is it.
