\nIf you\u2019ve taken a look at our Facebook page<\/a><\/strong> over the past few weeks, you\u2019d have noticed us sharing an awesome opportunity for local young musicians called \u201cNoise From The Next Generation<\/a><\/strong>\u201d. Well, it\u2019s an ace competition created by the Nottingham Music Service<\/strong> and supported by the Arts Council England<\/a><\/strong>, the Young Creative Awards<\/a><\/strong> and ourselves.
\n
\nThere\u2019s a 11-19 category and a 14-19 category, and both of these will see several artists take to either Sobar<\/a><\/strong> (11-19) or Rock City<\/a><\/strong> (14-19) to battle it out; for some incredible opportunities, that include an automatic place in the Future Sound of Notitngham<\/a><\/strong> Semi-Finals plus a Future Session<\/a><\/strong> slot, to name but a few.
\n
\nEach band gets 15 minutes on stage, and that is their time to shine. They have to perform at least two original tracks; which makes us very happy, as you know we don’t lie covers here at Nusic, we want to hear original songwriting. Once all the acts have performed, a panel of independent judges will pick the winner. This is more than a battle of the bands. This is the noise of the next generation!
\n
\nDoors: Sobar (Monday 7th) – 6:30PM \/ Rock City (Tuesday 8th) – 7:00PM
\nPrice (both nights): \u00a33 concessions, \u00a35 others.

\nGIG TWO<\/strong>
\n
\nThe dark-pop queen that is INDIANA<\/a><\/strong> will be coming home for her debut Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong> headline show, and we\u2019re sure it\u2019ll be an amazing experience.
\n
\nSince we first saw INDIANA<\/a><\/strong> in April 2012 at the Future Sound of Nottingham<\/a><\/strong>, she\u2019s gone on to very big things. She\u2019s signed a deal with Sony<\/strong>, ended up on Radio 1\u2019s<\/strong> playlist, and even got to sing in front of the Queen (the real one)!
\n
\nHer last performance in Nottingham left the entire crowd in awe; begging for more. Well, she\u2019s answered your prayers peeps! She\u2019s got a new Nottingham band together, and promises to bring her enticing breed of dark-pop to the Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong> this Saturday. We highly recommend coming down, as INDIANA\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> performances are truly captivating; it might even be a historic night if she becomes only the fifth ever Nottingham act to sell out the venue in it’s history!
\n
\nDoors: 6:30PM
\nPrice: \u00a310

\nGIG THREE<\/strong>
\n
\nTHE GORGEOUS CHANS<\/a><\/strong> are coming to The Bodega<\/a><\/strong> this Sunday, thanks to IKE Productions<\/a><\/strong>, and they\u2019re bringing some great local musicians along with them.
\n
\nFor those unfamiliar, THE GORGEOUS CHANS<\/a><\/strong> are a very entertaining band. Compromising of eight members, the band\u2019s live shows are always electric! Their unique brand of World-Pop hooks you in, and won\u2019t let go til you\u2019re shouting along all the words to their huge anthems. They\u2019re so good, they won the Future Sound of Nottingham<\/a><\/strong> last year, and as such ended up opening Splendour\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> main stage. So we\u2019re pretty certain they\u2019ll put on an amazing show at The Bodega<\/a><\/strong>!
\n
\nOpening the night, we have HUNTING HELEN<\/a><\/strong>, who make HUGE Acoustic-Rock sounds. As an Acoustic-Rock band it\u2019s hard to distinguish yourself in the popular genre; however HUNTING HELEN<\/a><\/strong> do this very well, thanks to frontman Ande\u2019s incredibly distinctive vocals; which are just as good live as on record.
\n
\nFRANKIE RUDOLF<\/a><\/strong> will be up next with his soothing Acoustic sounds. With a songwriting ability well beyond his years; Frankie tells inspiring stories and mixes them with some bloody catchy choruses too. He\u2019s bound to lift your spirits, and makes a great addition to the nights lineup!
\n
\nSUSPECT ALIBI<\/a><\/strong> are last on before THE GORGEOUS CHANS<\/a><\/strong>, and we\u2019re sure they\u2019ll set the tone just right. With huge Indie Pop anthems that are bound to get you bouncing all over the place, SUSPECT ALIBI<\/a><\/strong> pretty much always put on a stellar performance, and we\u2019re sure they\u2019ll do just the same here.
\n
\nDoors: 6:30PM
\nPrice: TBC
