[gigs] Portishead + Mercury Rev

Big news this week is that a Harvest sideshow has been announced for Adelaide – Portishead & Mercury Rev at Thebby Theatre on November 17th.

Also there’s been some more additions to the Earth Station lineup including Tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussein.

Meanwhile tomorrow night there’s Henry Wagons or a choice of two great local gigs, if you’re not going to at least one of them then what the hell are you doing on my blog?

On Saturday the enigmatic DJ Wolfpanther will play an epic set at Format for the SALA Peel St Party.

Also, a couple of acts that are missing Adelaide but who you may well want to see if you happen to be on the East Coast at the right time are Times New Viking (next week) and Akron/Family (around the start of October).
