Aimee recommends: Ned Kelly Ball @ Trades Hall, Melbourne, Vic. November 11
November 11 isn't just Remembrance Day, it's also the day Australia's greatest anti-hero, Ned Kelly, died. To commemorate this, there'll be some damn fine tootin' country root ... uhhh, country singin' at the Trades Hall in Carlton. Put your finest bucket over your head and gallop down to see Malcolm Hill, Dave Graney, Mick Turner and The Stringybark Band.

Alex recommends: The Newtown Festival: Hermitude + The Barons of Tang, The Crooked Fiddle Band + more @ Camperdown Park, Newtown, NSW Sunday November 8
So I usually steer clear of the Newtown Festival due to the past few years of it having become a total bogan fest. Unfortunately I am one of those annoying old-school Newtowners that preferred dancing barefoot in the dirt to some slide guitar and drinking my own beer on the grass listening to some interesting ideas on how Australia can become a Communist state and still be a heavyweight world player (however, I digress) ... So if you're willing to put up with the bogans make sure you check out Barons of Tang and Crooked Fiddle Band, they are just two of wonderfully experimental folk bands in what seems to be a pretty decent line up this year.

Bella recommends: Megastick Fanfare, Skinny Jean, Parking Lot Experiments @ Q Bar, Sydney, NSW. November 6
Look, I'm going to keep this brief: Aimee keeps getting mad at me because APPARENTLY I take too long writing these things. GEE SORRY AIMEE YOU BIG BULLY. Anyway, Megastick Fanfare are launching their 7" tonight at Q Bar and you should definitely go along. Megastick = mega awesome. Have a listen to their new song 'Brain Tooth', it's the balls.
