As another week passes, we are happy to say we have yet another amazing set of gigs for the Nottingham music scene. This week sees one for the Alternative lovers, an album launch party, and plenty of performances thanks to NEAT14.
\n
\nGIG ONE<\/strong>
\n
\nOver at The Maze<\/a><\/strong> on Thursday, you can expect to find a load of great bands from the Alternative spectrum, all thanks to Boombox Promotions<\/a><\/strong>.
\n
\nThose interestingly named fellas in BAYBO SQUAYBO<\/a><\/strong> will be opening the night with their explosion of rough yet catchy sounds. Despite not having much released, the stuff we have heard sounds like a pretty damn sexy combination of awesome riffs, laid back vocals and sweet, sweet soundscapes. We can\u2019t wait to catch some of it live!
\n
\nNext up we have the dirty, rowdy, riff-fuelled Blues of THE DAMN HEAVY<\/a><\/strong>. With a sound heavily influenced by Punk, Garage and Soul, these guys make a crazy concoction of sounds – the kind of sounds that make us feel like proper men when we listen to em. Get us our whisky! Insatellites<\/strong> from Leeds will also be performing.
\n
\nFinally, we\u2019ll have the anthemic Rock sounds of FIELDS<\/a><\/strong>. With hints of The Libertines<\/strong> and The Charlatans<\/strong>, these boys make some pretty damn catchy tunes – with plenty of slick riffs and distortion thrown in for good measure. Add to that their huge stage presence (Liam Gallagher who?), and we\u2019re sure these guys we\u2019ll put on a bloody great performance!
\n
\nDoors: 7PM
\nPrice: \u00a34
\n
\nGIG TWO <\/strong>
\n
\nSCRIPTURES<\/a><\/strong> are releasing their new album this Saturday at Lace Market Gallery<\/a><\/strong>, and they\u2019re throwing a proper fancy party to celebrate.
\n
\nIf you\u2019re not familiar with SCRIPTURES<\/a><\/strong>, here\u2019s the lowdown – they\u2019re a duo, Robear & Kieren, who make \u201cArt-Rock\u201d. Now, for those of you want an explanation, here\u2019s what you can expect to hear – MASSIVE choruses, EPIC riffs, and an \u201ceven better live than on record\u201d sound.
\n
\nThey\u2019re gonna play the entirety of their new album Our Problems Revisited<\/em> live, so you\u2019ll get to hear what the past two years of hard work has amounted to. We reckon it\u2019s gonna be something pretty special, and if there past performances we\u2019ve seen are anything to go by, they\u2019re gonna absolutely smash it!
\n
\nDoors: 8PM
\nPrice: Free – Ticket needed though. Get em HERE<\/a><\/strong>.
\n
\nGIG THREE<\/strong>
\n
\nThe Nottingham European Arts and Theatre Festival<\/a><\/strong> (NEAT14<\/strong>) started this Friday just gone, and as part of it, this week you can expect to see loads of local musicians, in several different venues.
\n
\nOn Friday, you can expect to hear the Afro-Funk Fusion sounds of BLESSING MAGORE<\/a><\/strong>. In partnership with Cultural Vibrations<\/a><\/strong>, he\u2019ll be performing at the Chase Neighbourhood Centre<\/a><\/strong> in St Anns. The well-dressed chap hasn\u2019t been gigging for long in Notts, but his uplifting sounds have won him plenty of new fans recently – and for good reason. He brings loads of influences together to make a truly unique sound, and, to put it simply, his songs just make you smile. What more could you want from music?
\n
\nOver at Cast Bar<\/a><\/strong>, you can expect to enjoy plenty of local acts as you sip your cocktails.
\n
\nOn Thursday, you\u2019ll have the pleasure of seeing the beautiful Soul-Folk sounds of JOY MUMFORD<\/a><\/strong>. An incredible songwriter, with an absolutely stunning tone to her voice, Joy makes some incredible, touching songs, that honestly wouldn\u2019t sound out of place on a Corinne Bailey Rae<\/strong> album.
\n
\nOn Friday you can expect to see SAMUEL KIRK<\/strong>, frontman of INJURED BIRDS<\/a><\/strong>. We reckon him and his guitar will make some lovely jittery Folk sounds for you. Maybe even his banjo will make an appearance. Either way, he\u2019s gonna make you dance, I assure you that, just please, don\u2019t knock anyones drinks over – they\u2019re bloody expensive in there!
\n
\nFinally, on the Sunday you can expect to find the sweet, soulful sounds of ESTHER VAN LEUVEN<\/a><\/strong>. With an incredibly unique tone and style to her music, we always find Esther\u2019s performances enticing, and we\u2019re sure that this one will be no different.
\n
\nPrice: Music events are all free
\nDoors: Varies
\n
\nSo yeah, if art isn\u2019t your thing, don\u2019t worry. There\u2019s plenty of musical treats dotted around Notts this week!
\n
