Jeonju Gigs?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Looks like I will be in Jeonju this weekend, for the Jeonju International Film Festival. While I am there, I thought it might be nice to check out a live show or two... unfortunately, I know nothing about the Jeonju club scene. Anyone out there in Internet world know anything about ...

Weekend Concerts

Friday, April 25th, 2008

A crazy selection of shows this weekend -- nine shows on Friday, twelve on Saturday and another seven on Sunday. Friday is Sound Day/Club Day, of course. But Saturday is even busier.

Pentaport Preview

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

We were supposed to know the lineup for this year's PENTAPORT by now, but organizers say they are having "problems with the website" (whatever that means), which is delaying things. In the meantime, I came across this poster recently: Not sure if the poster is a fake or a preliminary ...

Big Shows in May

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Several big concerts have been announced for May. While I am more interested in indie gigs, I thought people might like to know about them. First, an update on the Hippy Flower Power Peace Concert at Jamsil on May 4 and 5. It looks like organizers have a more finalized lineup. ...

I just found out that VIDULGI OOYOO is going to be playing a show tonight (Saturday). The show is at 7:30 at a club called FALL -- it is in between Dongdaemun and Wangsimni. The little map on the poster says Wangsimni Station, exit 4. If you go to the ...
