A brief edition of the gig guide to remind everyone that Ed Kuepper & the Kowalski collective are on tonight at the Gov. Details here. There will be some new live cds for sale (on the resurrected Prince Melon label) which are only sold at shows. A word of warning: last time I was at the Gov, for the excellent Robert Forster gig, it started very early, about 8:30. There was no support and Forster and his band played two sets. There doesn’t appear to be a support advertised for tonight so it could be similar (though also the other show was on a Wednesday rather than a Friday). Anyway, I won’t take any chances and I suggest that you don’t either and get there nice & early.
Update: Here’s the setlist
1st set:
- Electrical Storm
- La Di Doh
- Sleepy Head
- Miracles
- Messin’ Part 2

 There were three live cds for sale, one with the same lineup (Ed, Jeffrey Wegener, Peter Oxley), one with just Ed & Jeff from the recent European tour and one from 2001 with a lineup that I don’t think I ever saw live – Johnny Gauci, Alex Compton, Dave Aston.
