There’s no reason for the ‘le’ whatsoever, just being slightly affected.  Anyway, without further ado, here are les picks for this weekend…

Two of Scotland’s most popular acts are in town; Idlewild (The Warehouse, Fri) and The Proclaimers (AEEC, Sat). Both sold out though, so enjoy if you’ve got tickets.  Friday also sees a couple of Sound Festival shows outside the city; King Creosote and The Pictish Trail at The Woodend Barn, Banchory (8pm, £14, really nice venue) and most interestingly, experimental music with Mark Wastell and Will Guthrie at The Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, Fraserburgh (7.30pm, £7/£5, Free bus from Aberdeen Art Gallery at 6pm).  How cool does that sound?  I mean, it’s in a lighthouse museum…

Ace local group Super Six Funk Machine are promoting two shows over the weekend; Newcastle hip-hop/funk band The 27 Club at Drummonds on Friday (9pm/£4, with the Funk Machine themselves in support) and superb US hip-hop outfit Ugly Duckling on Saturday (The Tunnels, 10.30pm, £5) while further beat-driven goodness can be had at Origin when Everything Else Sucks welcome Manchester house, breaks ‘n’ bass duo Heavy Feet (Saturday, 10pm, £6).  That lot should keep you going, however, as always, see our listings if nothing here takes your fancy.  Hiv a good een folks…
