Yeah, we didn\u2019t think those genres together would work either, but believe us, they bloody do. And when mixes with Isaac\u2019s knack for a catchy melody, and some wise words in the form of his songwriting, he\u2019s quite the pleasure to see live.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\">PROPER ENGLISH GENTLEMEN<\/a><\/strong> will be taking the stage yet, and yes, to clarify, that\u2019s the band name, we\u2019re not just interested in their etiquette! Now these boys have some proper jangly dancy, other words ending in y tunes. They call themselves Indie, but, these guys are more than just Indie, cos I\u2019ve been singing their tunes for a good few days now. Get ready to go a \u2018lil crazy! <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\">SAME STREETS<\/a><\/strong> round off the night with their energetic Rock &#038; Roll stylings. They were one of your favourites on this year\u2019s<strong> <a href=\"\">People\u2019s Podcast<\/a><\/strong>, and we can see why &#8211; swagger,  well crafted songs, and stage presence a plenty. They\u2019ve been working on plenty of new songs in the studio, and quite frankly, we cannot wait to hear them. <\/p>\n<p>Price: \u00a33<br \/>\nDoors: 7.30pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIG TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Come Friday, you\u2019ll all have been paid, so you\u2019ve got no excuse to not find yourself at <strong>The Maze<\/strong>, as they\u2019ve got a proper good lineup of, and we quote \u201capocalyptic Rock &#038; Roll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lineup eases you in nicely though. <strong><a href=\"\">ALTA PUEBLO<\/a><\/strong> kick things off with their chilled out sounds. Their mixture of beautifully crafted songs and stunning lyrics, this lot will have you hanging on their every word. As a band influenced by European cafe culture, they\u2019ve got quite a few stories that are unlike anything we\u2019ve ever heard, and we highly suggest checking \u2018em out.<\/p>\n<p>Picking up the pace a bit, we have the youthful sounds of <strong><a href=\"\">FALL OF THE BASTILLE<\/a><\/strong>, whom, apart from having a brilliant name, play progressive Alt-Rock that is bound to leave a smile on your face? Why a smile? Cos despite their young age, they\u2019ve already got a stellar sound that many bands spend years finding. Seriously, if you listened to them with your eyes closed, you\u2019d think they\u2019d been doing this for near a decade!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\">THEE DEADTIME PHILHARMONIC<\/a><\/strong> are up next, and they bring one of the most interesting, expermiental sounds to the stage that we\u2019ve heard in ages. Seriously, check out their music vid for Protected () and you\u2019ll see what we mean. A mixture of Alt-Rock, with unique use of samples and bits of technical wizardry make for an awesome listening experience and we cannot wait to see it live!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the night ends with <strong><a href=\"\">ULYSSES STORM<\/a><\/strong>, who describe their music as \u201cBombastic off-kilter blues dance rock\u201d. And yes, its just as brilliantly mental as it sounds. Their music will hit parts of you that you didn\u2019t know existed, and we guarantee it\u2019ll get you up shaking what your mama gave ya. And we all want to see that don\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<p>Price: \u00a35<br \/>\nDoors:8pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>GIG THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the success of her <em>This Love<\/em> EP, <strong><a href=\"\">NINA SMITH<\/a><\/strong> is throwing a bit of a celebration down at <strong><a href=\"\">Rough Trade<\/a><\/strong> on Saturday. But this isn\u2019t just any old celebration, oh no! <\/p>\n<p>First up, this will be the premiere of Nina\u2019s latest video, <em>Stronger<\/em>, which\u2019ll be broadcast over RT\u2019s fancy big-ass projector, so we\u2019ll be in for a right visual treat. But, of course, we\u2019re all about the music, and Nina certainly delivers, as she\u2019ll be giving an acoustic performance on the night as well. Yup, she may have got Top 5 on the iTunes RnB chart, but she\u2019s still got time for Nott\u2019m. If somehow you\u2019re not familiar with Nina, you can expect some pure soulful RnB Pop &#8211; ridiculously catchy melodies brought to life by an incredibly silky voice. <\/p>\n<p>Price: Free<br \/>\nDoors: 7pm<\/p>\n<p>Yours in Love of New Music,<br \/>\nSam Nahirny x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another week has passed, and there&#8217;s some wicked gigs coming up over the next seven days on the Nottingham music scene.
