\nThis week sees a little something for everyone on the Nottingham music scene. With two EP launches and a lineup full of some great Notts talent, you\u2019ve got no excuse to sit in and watch Eastenders this week!
\n
\nGIG ONE<\/strong>
\n
\nFirst up we\u2019ve got Mid Riff<\/a><\/strong> over at Pepper Rocks<\/strong><\/a>, which brings four ace Notts acts together on Wednesday, thanks to I\u2019m Not From London<\/a><\/strong>.
\n
\nKicking the night off we\u2019ll have the Folky Acoustic Pop of BRETT SINCLAIR<\/a><\/strong>. Brett has a very distinctive vocal, and believe me when I say he knows how to play his guitar. I can only describe it as \u201cjangly\u201d, yeah, \u201cjangly\u201d Folky Acoustic Pop\u2026 basically what I\u2019m trying to get through my rambling is that he\u2019s really good okay!
\n
\nNext up we have the brilliantly named BABEL FISH<\/a><\/strong>; a new duo to the Nottingham scene, and one who despite our journalistic endeavours, we can\u2019t find much on. We can tell you this though, they both \u201csometimes\u201d sing, and \u201csometimes\u201d play guitar. Put it this way, if they\u2019re anything like the rest of the talent on this lineup, they\u2019re bound to be amazing!
\n
\nLIAM O\u2019KANE<\/a><\/strong> will be taking to the stage next with his unique breed of rootsy Acoustic Ska. Liam\u2019s earnt himself quite a reputation as a live performer; having performed with some of the Ska and Punk scenes finest such as Mouthwash<\/strong> and Sonic Boom 6<\/strong>, so we\u2019re pretty sure he\u2019ll put on quite a show for you!
\n
\nFinally, rounding the night off we\u2019ll have Honest-Pop of THE BREAKFAST CLUB<\/a><\/strong>. Now I know you may be thinking, \u201cwhat on Earth is Honest-Pop?\u201d Well, put it this way, THE BREAKFAST CLUB<\/a><\/strong> sing songs about how they still find certain girls cute, even after they\u2019ve puked up all over the bog\u2026 okay, the sentiments there; but yeah, they\u2019re not singing about Romeo and Juliet. But they are singing about real things, and they know how to write a catchy melody too!
\n
\nPrice: Free
\nDoors: 8PM
\n
\nGIG TWO<\/strong>
\n
\nNext on our Top Three<\/a><\/strong>, we have VENOM & THE TERRORTONES<\/a><\/strong>\u2019 EP Launch at The Running Horse<\/a><\/strong> on Friday.
\n
\nIf you\u2019re not familiar with VENOM & THE TERRORTONES<\/a><\/strong>; then, you\u2019re about to be opened up to a brand new world. Basically, they take the best of 80s Glam Rock, sleaze it the heck up, and put on one bloody dirty show.The good kind of dirty, I must add. They\u2019ve got a new EP coming out, \u201cThe MonsterPussy Sessions<\/em>\u201d, so they\u2019ve got plenty of material to test out on you lucky lot. They\u2019re even bringing along burlesque dancers, and fire-breathing flesh eaters to accompany them\u2026 here\u2019s a little tip, don\u2019t stand near the front!
\n
\nThe night also sees support from PRIME<\/a><\/strong>, one of the best Punk bands that Notts has to offer. They take the close-cut social commentary of Punk and a fair bit of it\u2019s attitude too, and mix it with good old fashioned catchy riffs. Managing to somehow sound like something familiar and something brand new at the same time, these guys really are something special. And they also have a rather charismatic frontman\u2026
\n
\nThe Moonshine Stalkers<\/strong> from London will also be supporting.
\n
\nPrice: \u00a33
\nDoors: 8PM
\n
\nGIG THREE<\/strong>
\n
\nRounding off our Top Three<\/a><\/strong>, we have THE MOST UGLY CHILD<\/a><\/strong> who will be throwing a launch party for their new EP at Vintage Warehouse<\/a><\/strong> this Friday, thanks to Wire & Wool<\/a><\/strong>.
\n
\nKicking things off we\u2019ve got another bunch of fellas who aren\u2019t too social on the interwebs, and they go by the name of THE HOG RENDERERS<\/strong>. I\u2019m afraid all we could find on these boys was a quote from Matt Reynolds of mental metalheads BABY GODZILLA<\/a><\/strong>; what did he have to say? \u201cStraight up badass Blues for the purist among us.\u201d There you have it. Expect some badass Blues!
\n
\nNext up we\u2019ll have the gruff Bluesy sounds of Mr RYAN THOMAS<\/a><\/strong>. This fella scored No.1 on the iTunes Blues chart with his EP \u201cWorries & Troubles<\/em>\u201d a few months ago, and to get No.1 anything on iTunes, you have to be super talented. Well, Ryan is; and he\u2019s bloody incredible at making authentic Blues that makes you want to dance, and have a bit of a cry with some bourbon at the same time. The Rip-Roaring Success<\/strong> will also be supporting.
\n
\nTHE MOST UGLY CHILD<\/a><\/strong> will take to the stage last with their Folky Americana sounds. Having spent a fair while putting their heart and soul into their new EP \u201cA Wicked Wind Blows<\/em>\u201d, they now feel they are ready to unleash this beautiful beast of a record upon our ears. They bring an aural assault of instruments together; to make a sound that really is unlike anything else we\u2019ve heard this side of the Atlantic. Get your dancing shoes ready, cause we don\u2019t wanna see one still pair of feet in this barn\u2026 YEEHAW\u2026 sorry.
\n
\nPrice: Free
\nDoors: 7:30PM
