There go the greatest gigs of the next four weeks.

January 14th: Květy and Minach @ Metro Music Club

CZK 100 (€ 3.80), 8:30 P.M., 6 Poštovská st., GPS: 49°11’41.659″N, 16°36’36.146″E

Nice oportunity to enjoy/explore/experience two of the best-known Czech indie groups. The concert will be recorded by TV, so don’t forget to dress your favorite funny T-shirt.

January 15th: Skaparáda @ Fléda

CZK 180 (€ 6.90), 8:00 P.M., 24 Štefánikova st., GPS: 49°12’35.718″N, 16°36’11.879″E

I am so glad I will see the excellent French ska group Les Touffes Krétiennes again! And I am really courious about a Czech ska group Basta Fidel.

CZK 549 (€ 25), 7:30 P.M., 2a Sportovní st., GPS: 49°12’44.294″N, 16°36’30.172″E

Look, I am not a big fan of dance music. I just have heard that this party rocks. Sebastien Léger is the headliner, other stars are Karotte, Johan Gielen, Richard Durand, Michal Poliak, DJ Orbith and Click Joe.
