It’s been over 6 years since I last saw Melbourne band Ninetynine, so I’m very happy to hear that they are coming back to Adelaide next month, even more so because I think that their latest album Worlds of Space, Worlds of Population, Worlds of Robots could well be their best. The Unstable Ape label are really giving us Adelaideans a treat with Love of Diagrams the following week (how about Zulya next?).
Also in new announcements this week, Lo-Tek, who I believe to be one member of Big Dada label act Lotek Hi-Fi is playing Saturday week (21st) at the Crown & Sceptre. As well as that, I see that their website is advertising the DJ Food show for May (they seem to have good connections with Ninja Tune).
Also on hip-hop there is a festival on at the Adelaide Shores complex in June which will feature DJ Shadow and Kool Keith, as well as a number of others.

Finally, tonight is already a crowded night for gigs with the Satan’s Cheerleaders gig at FAD, and Little Ice Age at the Wheaty, but I should also mention that Soursob Bob has a cd launch at the Grace supported by the excellent Spindickle. And don’t forget Really Good in Theory tomorrow – both the market and the gig.
