- With the outdoor music festival season in full swing, the prospect of spending a wet weekend in a glorified toilet trench, then having your tent torched by some loon in a jester's hat may be starting to lose its appeal slightly.

Luckily, there's some great live entertainment to be had over the next few days in slightly more salubrious surroundings, as Lavery's Bunker in Belfast hosts another Gigantic session tonight, with Lisburn rock and roll trio, Mojo Fury, headlining.They recently won Cinemagic's competition for a chance to make a video for their track The Mann, overseen by ex-10cc member and legendary music film director Kevin Godley, whose credits include Blur's Girls and Boys vid.

Support comes courtesy of skinny- tie merchants Ed Zealous, still hot from their slot at Donegal's Innishfree Rock festival, last week.

Then on Sunday night, at the same venue, Ordinarydays present a night of rock and punk from three local outfits, each with their own very distinct and original sound.

Co Tyrone's Yakuza have been gigging for almost ten years and head the bill with a noisy, yet strangely melodic set incorporating influences by Sonic Youth, Wilco and REM.

Son Of Shrimp have evolved from a solo act plugging away on an analogue eight-track to a fully-formed five piece, playing the sort of spiky psychedelia which they themselves categorise as "underwater rock 'n' roll".

Belfast quintet, The Remains Of Youth complete the line-up with a passionate, sax-fuelled mash-up of aggressive punk rock, indie and old-fashioned rock and roll, with more than the occasional nod to Texas rockers At The Drive-In.

- If you fancy doing your bit for a local charity with the added bonus of having your ears and brain pummelled by the sounds of three pretty amazing bands, then The Limelight has it all, this Sunday night.

Headlining are Ninety-Nine Knives, five individuals merging their own cross-genre influences to create a unique blend of old-school hardcore, emo and metal, all spliced together with a healthy helping of punk.

The Knives incorporate seasoned veterans from local outfits In Theory, Willow Drive and Toilet Street, as well as some new blood, and they'll be joined on stage by fun metallers Fatality and Belfast rocksters, Choke.

Doors open at 8.30pm and admission is £4 before 10pm, then £5 after, with proceeds from the door going to Project Clear Skies, a locally run charity helping people with disabilities.
