We know it’s a very busy weekend, this whole Tramlines thing, so we’ve done a lil’ list of bands we really suggest you check. Heck, some of these we placed in a neat lil’ podcast.
Like last year, we’ve compiled a nifty PDF file you can print with our recommendations. Print it double sided, fold it and Bob’s your uncle (we did the DNA test).

Don’t agree? The official Tramlines website has the whole guacamole-filled quesadilla and even better, you can buy a Tramlines guide (which wasn’t made in fugly Excel like mine) for 3 quid, available right now at The Harley and The Wick at Both Ends.
Without any further ado (the lest words I type, the less grammar mistakes I make) here’s a few venues we believe have a gorgeous line up…

The right ol’ start to Tramlines is just half a day, but it gets busy and it gets to be rather excellent. How about these line-ups? Don’t miss The Scaramanga Six, Everyone an Army and Best Friends!

++Saturday++
Saturday is always the busiest day of the whole festival. If the city centre gets to be a bit much, why not jump into The Busker Bus and have a whale of a time with bands doing their acoustic magic while trying to keep balanced? You can also relax at The Folk Forest or be a cool kid and join The Thin, The Hip & The Young at places with top line ups like The Bowery or The Great Gatsby?
Whatever you do, don’t walk around with a stuffed sock monkey. That’s just plain silly.

And before I type “that’s all she wrote”, I’d like to include a bit of info on Tenderfoot an art exhibition that will be around from the 17th and extending all the way over to the Tramlines weekend. This exhibition is at APG Works (16-20 Sydney Street) and will include sculpture, documentary photography, fine art, illustrations and installations. All contributors have self-funded the exhibition in a way to help each other get exposure. RSVP here.
Some of the art in exhibition is by:
Opening times are 10-17:30 (weekdays) and 11-16 (Saturday). Free entry. I’d like to thank Steve Hithersay for the heads up.
Now, enjoy your Tramlines 2013.
