This week’s ‘now’ show is at Box in Glasgow – Jonzip – of original punks The Zips – will be playing a solo set.

French rock band Daria, currently with a single on Dischord, play Glasgow Pivo Pivo on Tues 29th, Edinburgh Opium on the 30th and Dundee Non-Zeros on the 31st – the later with Enemy Airships {ex-Pensioner} and The Sparrowhawk orKestrel. See the video below!

On Wednesday, Fatherson venture north, for a show at The Garage in Aberdeen, and then back down the coast, to Edinburgh’s Liquid Room on Thursday evening, and then to Glasgow’s QM on Saturday.

Also in Aberdeen, on Thursday in Tunnels it’s the band formerly known as Midnight Lion – Prides.

And on Thursday in Glasgow, Nick Cave is in the rock’n’roll environs of the Barras. And curiously, on the Friday, at the rather more salubrious Usher Hall in Edinburgh.

Wozniak launch their new single with a show at Sneaky Pete’s in Edinburgh on Friday night

In Glasgow, on Friday at SWG3 – the legend of punk poetry that is John Cooper Clarke

Hector Bizerk play as part of the Dumfries Music Conference, on Friday Nov 1st.

And on Saturday in Annan – which is close enough by to be part of the same event? – local ska kings More From Jim are at the Station Hotel

On Saturday, Future of the Left are at Broadcast in Glasgow

Finally, on Sunday at Edinburgh’s Electric Circus, it’s the queen of the accordion, Sharon Shannon

I’m not sure I should show you this. Basically it’s an entire gig by Daria. Though maybe it will tempt you out of the house to see them live?
