GIG GUIDE // JULY<br />
GIG OF THE MONTH: THE DICKIES<br />
Veterans and self-proclaimed ‘clown princes of punk’ The<br />
Dickies are coming to the Con Club this <strong>July</strong> as part of their<br />
40th anniversary tour. Most probably know them for their<br />
catchy melodies, comical panache and (all too underrated) ability<br />
not to take themselves too seriously. Formed in early 1977,<br />
the group were amongst the first LA punk bands to score a<br />
major label, and despite punk’s fluctuating popularity, they have<br />
stood the test of time. Since the emergence of music streaming<br />
services such as Spotify, the band now feel their energy is better<br />
spent touring live than in the studio recording. This makes for a<br />
show that is jam-packed with old time favourites, and a venue full of people who can sing (or shout) along to<br />
the lyrics. Altogether now: “La la la…” Sun 23, Con Club, 7.30pm, £16.50 Kelly Hill<br />
