We hope you&#8217;ve all shook off that NY hangover and you&#8217;re all ready to get back into the swing of awesome Notts gigs going off this week. There&#8217;s some proper variation this week, with a bit of Folk, Soul, Indie, Garage Rock and more to satisfy your musical cravings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIG ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kicking things off we have a selection of fine tunes at <strong><a href=\"\">The Orange Tree<\/a><\/strong>, as Look! The Moon returns on Wednesday, thanks to <strong><a href=\"\">I\u2019m Not From London<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The night starts with the beautiful, soulful sounds of <strong><a href=\"\">JASMIN ISAAKA<\/a><\/strong>. With songs that take you on a journey and catchy melodies that have you hanging on every word, Jasmin is quite the performer. And she\u2019s the perfect remedy to all those mental nights you\u2019ve been having recently.<\/p>\n<p>Next up we\u2019ll have <strong><a href=\"\">DH LAWRENCE &#038; THE VAUDEVILLIAN SKIFFLE SHOW<\/a><\/strong>, a band whose music is as unique as their name. The band mix elements from loads of different genres together to make something that we\u2019ve never heard before. It\u2019s like a mix of Folk, Americana, Bluegrass, and we\u2019re sure a load of other genres that we can\u2019t think of right now. Anyways, they sound awesome, and you should definitely check them out!<\/p>\n<p>Rounding off the night we have <strong><a href=\"\">CAREEN<\/a><\/strong>, who provide a very pleasant listening experience. Best summed up as Folk sprinkled with elements of  several genres, <strong><a href=\"\">CAREEN<\/a><\/strong> mix together several layers of sound into something that warms you up inside. And no, we didn\u2019t get it confused with the whisky! <\/p>\n<p>Doors: 8:30pm<br \/>\nPrice: Free<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIG TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next up we\u2019ve got <strong><a href=\"\">Notts In A Nutshell<\/a><\/strong> at <strong><a href=\"\">The Maze<\/a><\/strong> on Sunday, which sees loads of ace Alternative acts come together for a great value entry price.<\/p>\n<p>The night starts with the Countryfied Indie sounds of <strong><a href=\"\">NICK ASLAM<\/a><\/strong>. A fella who is a stunning wordsmith, as well as quite the performer. Described as having the \u201ccharisma of Neil Diamond and the white of Alex Turner\u201d, you won\u2019t want to miss his performance!<\/p>\n<p>Following we\u2019ll have <strong><a href=\"\">ELDERS<\/a><\/strong> who will get the party started with their Punk Rock\/Ska sounds. We\u2019re afraid there isn\u2019t too much info for \u2018em out here on the world wide web, as they\u2019ve only just joined the land of FB, so make sure to drop them a like, and prepare for some proper skanking action!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\">FLEETS<\/a><\/strong> are up next with some good old fashioned Garage Rock which is sure to get everybody going a little bit crazy. The four piece made quite a name for themselves with some ace live performances in 2014, so, make sure you catch \u2018em at this, as 2015 is looking good for them!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\">SAME STREETS<\/a><\/strong> take to the stage next with their swaggerful Rock n Roll sounds. Full with plenty of catchy melodies, guitar riffs and percussion, they\u2019ve got an arsenal of songs behind them now that always make for a sweet live performance. <\/p>\n<p>Topping it all off we have <strong><a href=\"\">THE TANGENTS<\/a><\/strong> who offer some proper Indie sounds. Think early <strong>Arctic Monkeys<\/strong> but with a contemporary edge, and you\u2019ve got a good idea of what to expect. Honest lyrics and raw yet catchy instrumentation, you\u2019ll be jumping around to these guys in no time!<\/p>\n<p>Doors: 7:30pm<br \/>\nPrice: \u00a33<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIG THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The final gig of your week comes courtesy of <strong><a href=\"\">Jam Cafe<\/a><\/strong> on Sunday, who have gone and got the new side project of <strong><a href=\"\">BABY GODZILLA<\/a><\/strong>, and some sweet Alternative stylings from <strong><a href=\"\">BAYBO SQUAYBO<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re probably familiar with the absolutely mental Metal sounds of <strong><a href=\"\">BABY GODZILLA<\/a><\/strong>, but you may not be so familiar with <strong><a href=\"\">HAGGARD CAT BOTHDAY PRESENT<\/a><\/strong>. Producing what is described as \u201cBrutal, raucous but sometimes melodic blues and thrash\u201d, we cannot wait to see it for ourselves. If it\u2019s anything like <strong><a href=\"\">BABY GODZILLA<\/a><\/strong>, we, are, sold!<\/p>\n<p>Chances are you\u2019re familiar with the brilliantly named <strong><a href=\"\">BAYBO SQUAYBO<\/a><\/strong> too, as they\u2019ve been gigging quite a bit in late 2014. If not under this guise, you may recognise the members from <strong><a href=\"%E2%80%93-insane-sky-full-of-oranges-future-session-49-76\/\">THE FADE<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"\">WATERS EDGE<\/a><\/strong>. Now they\u2019re making sweet, sweet melodic sounds under a new name, and believe us, they\u2019re very, very good!<\/p>\n<p>Doors: 7:15pm<br \/>\nPrice: \u00a33<\/p>\n<p>Yours in Love of New Music,<br \/>\nSam Nahirny x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy New Year you lovely lot.
