Gus's nights at the Paradise are on the 2nd Friday of the month. This is the first one I have managed to get to since December (I think he might not have had one in January though). He has (coincidentally?) booked one of the bands that I see quite often, the Hyenas. This makes my attendence more certain. I know Gus and Trepan invariably puts on a good night (and I recommend you visit one) but my schedule seems continually packed.
Apart from the Hyenas who I know, Gus has booked the Assholes (featuring Hugo fronm Carnival of Souls on Drums), Ten Bears (who have changed their name from.....and somehow have a feel of the Libertines), .......& the Icebergs who are a hearty rocky dance act. The evening is rounded off by Burlesque from Miss Vicky Butterfly.
One point I should make about Gus, the promoter, is that he actually promotes his shows. Sometimes it may feel a bit excessive, but by the time you have had several texts, myspace messages, facebook whatevers and myspace bulletins you can't say you didn't know the event was on. As a band I would much prefer a booking from someone who actually makes an effort to get an audience (and like tonight succeeds). I have also found that he books bands of a high standard. I have gone on to see some at other venues such as the Official Secrets Act.
