IF you do nothing all week, then please make sure you pack out Le Pub on Monday night where they are staging a tribute night to Jon Lee, writes Gareth Phillips.

I did not know Jon, and am not a particularly big Feeder fan, but what he achieved should be an inspiration to many who read these pages.

In and around Newport, Jon's was not simply another rock death, but was the loss of a very good friend to many involved in the local music scene where his love of music was honed in the same way that many of the bands I write about each week.

Jon Lee had achieved the dream to which so many aspire, and for reasons that we will never know gave it away.

I was looking on the Argus web page the other day, where one message spoke volumes, it was a personal one, from an old friend, and said thanks for listening, Jon.

The Le Pub night also has an interesting line- up, with Gracie, Mombomb and Mayonnaise on the bill.

Talk about a ying/yang effect. Mombomb's fierce grunge rock-outs, and anti-Stereophonic crusade has got them a hardcore following around South Wales, and seen them rightly singled out as a band very much on the up.

But they are everything Gracie and their acoustic-tinged rock and ear for a good old-fashioned melody are not.

Mayonnaise are new to these parts and I do not know too much about them, but I have heard that they went down a storm in TJ's last year. Louis Pattison, who does the NME reviews around Cardiff, will be playing Feeder anthems and the like.

And if that is not incentive enough, all proceeds from the night are going to Jon's favourite charity, the Noah's Ark Appeal to build a children's hospital in Wales. Entry is a measly £2.

Meanwhile Sick Future are bringing the Mad Caddies to TJ's from Santa Barbara, California on Saturday night with their reggae and dixieland jazz- tinged melody punk-rock. And there are some big names around Cardiff this week with Stereolab playing their rescheduled gig in Clwb Ifor Bach on Thursday, the same night that Movie Life are down to play TJ's.

And the Cosmic Rough Riders, who only played around these parts late last year are back, playing in Clwb Ifor Bach on Monday.

And if you are looking for something a little off the wall for a Sunday night, then you can have a rather bizarre choice of an evening of ska punk mayhem with King Prawn, Shootin Goon and friends in Clwb, or even worse, you could end up watching the Miles Hunt Club in Barfly - will he never go away?
