If you can pull yourself away from the Olympics and I know I can, zzzzzzzzz then plenty of gigs can fill the void in August. At The Vic Inn tonight (Wednesday) there is a punk bonanza with Sonic Boom Six and 3 Storeys High. Saturday August 9 features 11 bands from 2PM including Severed Heaven and Drag The Lake. The Vic will be closed for five days from the 18th for a refurb and will kick off again on the August 23. Also look out for Aphemia who are well worth £4.

Over at Derby's newest musical addition The Royal has The Official Machete Sounds Battle of the Bands tonight. On the 12th you can get geared up for Bloodstock Festival with a warm up show featuring Cruel Humanity, Life Denied, Seniun Ex Malum and Ignore This Fist. On the 14th You V Me host their club night LadyFlash featuring Censored and Derby's singer/songwriter, James Capper.

The Venue on Abbey Street starts August off with Homelands, Shortwave Fade, Toxic Federation and Alien Angels on the 8th. On Thursday 14th August, one of Derby's biggest bands You Animals play support to Grammatics fresh from their stunning Latitude Festival appearance. Also on the bill are My Psychoanalyst and Smugglers Run. On the 27th James Capper plays a headline show with Pavillion and Death By Orchestra while on the 28th Desert Funk Specialists Esteban hit the stage with Midas and Last Scene Falling. The usual monthly show takes place at The Old Bell with The Roulette, Body Machine and Kugas Sukas on the 15th.

Lastly I want to end these blogs with a link to a band I think is well worth checking out. Following an amazing set at this years Y-Not Festival in Matlock (which was ace) Manchester band Whisky Cats get my vote. They are so entertaining you can't help but love 'em.
