2' P ENICA
The Coral Scally carousers who happily trample over musical borders and boundaries with their inspirational take on garage and R88 (that's rhythm and blues, not Jamelia and stuff). Carling Academy, Glasgow, Mon 7 7 Nov.
The Mars Volta At the Drive-In were the blueprint for this most expressive of bands who mix punk, prog, jazz and rock to head -spinning effect. See preview. Barrow/and, Wed 79 Nov.
Blur Three members for three nights when they will hopefully prove that a three-legged dog is still a dog.

See preview. The Arches, Glasgow. Sun 23 Nov.
