February’s Edinburgh Gig Guide

January has now come to an end, which can only mean one thing. It is now February. Ready yourselves as the month isn’t looking half bad with a few decent gigs to go and a couple of them which really shouldn’t be missed.
Highlights of the month are Conquering Animal Sound, who will be launching their debut album, this boy and girl band is going to become pretty big so better see them now while you can. If you fancy some post-rock sounds, well, you really are spoilt for choices with both giants Mogwai and God is an Astronaut playing this month. The Voodoo Rooms will be hosting quite a night filled with exciting Scottish artist, definitely worth your time. Last but not least, the SXSW Fundraiser should be good fun with those mad indie-poppers called Kid Canaveral.
Find below the highlights of the month and take your pick!
