The Skinny Dip: This Town Needs Guns @ Barfly, 13 Feb

Youthful Oxford four-piece This Town Needs Guns are about to embark on a solid month-long tour of the UK, which, according to the band, could be their last on these shores for quite some time. So, for fans of the beautifully intricate guitar interplay and sentimental melodies of groups like Owls and Minus The Bear, or better yet for those already familiar with the band's debut album Animals, then Friday 13 February is not a day to skip the city. Also on the bill are Skinny favourites Endor and Ayr's own youthful quartet We Are Trapped In Kansas. [Ryan Drever]
