This week we\u2019ve got three more cracking events to get your butts down to \u2013 including an Alternative Rock album showcase, one of those lovely little Maze<\/a><\/strong> gigs, and a UK Reggae special. <\/p>\n

GIG ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Monday SATURN ASCEND<\/a><\/strong> are having their album showcase at The Chameleon Arts Caf\u00e9<\/a><\/strong>. With this four-piece Alt\/Prog Rock band\u2019s music in your ears, and the venue\u2019s intimate setting complete with newly refurbished toilets (they needed it, trust me), it\u2019s going to be a glorious evening. These guys are releasing their debut album \u2018Reasons to Forget<\/em>\u2019 on the day, so the night will be a showcase of a live performance of the album in its entirety.<\/p>\n

Supporting will be:<\/p>\n

NUWALA<\/a><\/strong> , who are a three-piece Acoustic Pop Rock band that took their name from the Phillipino word for ‘I’ve lost it’. Formerly named ‘Lost For Words’, they decided to stick with that theme of being bit ‘lost\u2019, and it\u2019s fitting, too; these guys produce delicately crafted musical mazes to absolutely lose yourself in. Check out their song \u201cParalysis<\/em>\u201d, which is on their Soundcloud, and you\u2019ll see what we mean.<\/p>\n

VERASKA<\/a><\/strong> are an Acoustic\/Pop foursome formed in 2014 with influences of Tim McGraw<\/strong>, Maroon 5<\/strong>, John Mayer<\/strong> and The Script<\/strong>. Quite a combination, there! With two brilliant front women, two swanky guitarists and vocals going on ALL ROUND, these guys produce music that is heartfelt, feel good and beautifully delivered.<\/p>\n

The Chameleon<\/strong>
\nEntry: \u00a35
\nDoors: 730PM

GIG TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE YOUNG<\/a><\/strong>, FLEETS<\/a><\/strong>, ISAAC BLOOMFIELD<\/a><\/strong> and SAME STREETS<\/a><\/strong> are at The Maze <\/strong>this Monday, too. If the above didn\u2019t tickle yer pickle. <\/p>\n

THE YOUNG<\/a><\/strong> will be the penultimate act for the night, performing a few lovely songs for us. Now, the name may have given it away (we see what they did there), but these guys are pretty young to be so good at music, because despite their youth, they make some pretty incredible Pop-Rock. They\u2019ve just recorded their latest EP at Random Recordings<\/a><\/strong> with Guy Elderfield, and it\u2019s set to be a bloody treat. We wonder what\u2019ll happen in a few years\u2019 time when they\u2019re not young anymore, I mean, The Old sounds pretty cool, but it\u2019s just not quite the same\u2026<\/p>\n

FLEETS<\/a><\/strong> are up before that, with their Alternative Garage Punk and psychedelic aesthetic. These guys play a variety of Indie, Punk, Funk and good ol\u2019 Garage music, and it works so damn well. Check out their song \u2018Babylon<\/em>\u2019, which perfectly shows their bass and guitar-driven melodies with relaxed vocal, reminiscent of something Smashing Pumpkins<\/strong> or Nirvana<\/strong> would produce. This four-piece made quite a name for themselves with some great live performances in 2014, so make sure you catch \u2018em at this event as 2015 is looking pretty sweet for them!<\/p>\n

Acoustic solo act from Long Eton and former front man of THE RECKLES THIEVES<\/a><\/strong>, ISAAC BLOOMFIELD<\/a><\/strong> will be kicking off the evening with songs influenced by the likes of Noel Gallagher<\/strong>, Alex Turner<\/strong> and Jimi Hendrix<\/strong>. He\u2019s nineteen, loves football, cycling, and like any other nineteen year old boy; Bargain Hunt. Isaac\u2019 Indie, Folk, Country and Britpop style music will be a sheer blessing to yer Nottingham ears, so don\u2019t miss him!<\/p>\n

SAME STREETS<\/strong><\/a>, will be playing their suave Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roll songs to get you dancing. Expect soaring vocals with up-tempo songs played with an insane amount of energy. Influences include The Beatles<\/strong>, The Clash<\/strong>, and The Rolling Stones<\/strong>. And yes, if you\u2019re into of any of these musical legends, you\u2019re gonna absolutely love \u2018em.<\/p>\n

The Maze<\/strong>

GIG THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Saturday, RAM1<\/a><\/strong> & THE ITES<\/a><\/strong> will be at Nottingham Contemporary<\/a><\/strong> Caf\u00e9 Bar, to gift your tired weekday-working soul with some free Reggae goodness. Covering 2 generations of Nottingham\u2019s musical history, these guys combine a MOBO Award nominated singer with a band of true veterans of the UK Reggae Scene.<\/p>\n

With two albums under his belt, performer RAM1<\/a><\/strong> has said he aims to \u201clearn from love, walk in Love and share Love with all who will give ear to listen and take heed through my music”. That\u2019s a lot of love, guys. THE ITES<\/a><\/strong> will be sharing this love, and have worked together under many guises over the past 30 years. There\u2019s a whopping seven of \u2018em, and with their combined understanding of the intricate workings and soulful deliverance of Reggae music, they\u2019re truly an amazing experience to behold when they work together. <\/p>\n

Nottingham Contemporary<\/strong>

\nDoors: 8PM<\/p>\n
