GIG GUIDE GIG OF THE MONTH If you like your music fast, skanky and of a topical bent, check out the Meow Meows, Brighton’s best ska/punk band since The Piranhas, and who are doing a fairly extensive tour to publicise their third album, Meow Meows on the Moon. They’re a fantastic live band, their pumped up brass section adding a whole lot of oomph to their offbeat dance sound, while singers Anna and Danny tell it how it is in songs like Friends on Benefits (check out their vid on meowmeows.com). They’ve played at the Con Club before, and if it’s anything like last time, the place will be jumping. Highly recommended. Sat 4th <strong>June</strong>, Con Club, 8pm, free.
