Summer is still going strong, and we have another diverse set of three gigs to get yersen involved with this week. From a Country EP launch, to some local peeps supporting a big out-of-towner, to a debut show from a Notts supergroup. <\/p>\n
GIG ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n The lovely lad that is BRAD MATTHEWS<\/a><\/strong> is launching his brand new EP “One of Them Kind of Nights<\/em>” at Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong> this Tuesday with support from a bunch of ace Notts folk, and some help from IKE Productions<\/a><\/strong>. Brad\u2019s music is probably best described as Country, but with a bunch of influences. Think George Ezra<\/strong>, with a tad more pop sensibility and you\u2019ve probs got the right idea. The night will be a celebration of his debut EP launch, which will more than likely contain the following: music, booze, cheering, stomping, booze, more music, more cheering, more booze. You get the picture. Either way it\u2019ll be a cracking night.<\/p>\n First of the many supports is RICHARD JENKINS<\/a><\/strong> who will be showing off some of his Folky Acoustic wizardry. This man is a stunning songsmith who\u2019s been making quite a name for himself recently, playing loads of local shows. He also has a great beard. And for those reasons alone you should see him play.<\/p>\n Southwell lads THE AGE OF STELLA<\/a><\/strong> are up next, bringing with them some intense Rock stylings. Similar to Brad, this lot just released their debut EP “Flux<\/em>” last month. Maybe they realised that when you\u2019re launching something you can get away with getting a bit more crazy at the show than normal. Clever. We see what you did there lads\u2026<\/p>\n Indie Rockers VANITY BOX<\/a><\/strong> will take to the stage next, attacking all of our consciousness with their ridiculously catchy melodies. Featuring lots of chants and memorable riffs, VBoxes songs are bound to be spinning round your head long after you\u2019ve forgotten what happened on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n Finally, pre Mr Matthews we have THE CHASE<\/a><\/strong>, who will deliver some good old fashioned Grungy Rock n Roll. Creating an epic wall of sound, these guys have been at it since a very early age, and they\u2019ve done nothing but develop. Now – they have an array of brilliant songs that are sure to have you moshing all over the place, and get you in the perfect mood for BM.<\/p>\n Rescue Rooms<\/strong> GIG TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n Two of Nottingham\u2019s finest will be supporting out of towner Low Leaf<\/strong> at The Bodega<\/a><\/strong> this Wednesday courtesy of Sounddhism<\/a><\/strong>. What else are you gonna do on a bloody Wednesday?<\/p>\n First up we have the absolutely stunning soulful tones of YAZMIN LACEY<\/a><\/strong>. A lady whose beautiful sounds have been picked up by none other than tastemaker Gilles Peterson<\/strong>! Her collab with TREKKAH<\/a><\/strong> was one of our Summer anthems last year, so we\u2019re looking forward to seeing what new tunes she\u2019s been working on.<\/p>\n The gorgeous Electronic sounds of SHELTER POINT<\/a><\/strong> are also on the bill. It\u2019s hard to believe that the sound this lot make comes from just two people. I don\u2019t know the technical terms, and to be honest, I don\u2019t really know how to put it into words, but the mix of Liam\u2019s beautiful falsetto and Robin\u2019s almost magical control of the electronics – it\u2019s just something very special to behold. <\/p>\n The Bodega<\/strong> GIG THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n AMULET<\/a><\/strong> are playing a headline show at Bodega<\/strong> this Friday, and it\u2019s looking like a cracker of a show. AMULET<\/a><\/strong> are a newly formed – almost super group, consisting of Joe and Mike from\u2026 JOE & MIKE<\/a><\/strong>, Jordan Bramley from ALBION<\/strong> and some bloke who\u2019s sodded off to Leicester Uni that goes by the name of Terz. And what kind of music do they make? Well, there ain\u2019t much of it out there beside a 37 sec instrumental clip, but it sounds a bit AMBER RUN<\/a><\/strong>-ey. Basically, it\u2019ll be surprise, and a good one at that.<\/p>\n Supporting we have CONNOR SPRAY AND THE INDEIABEES<\/a><\/strong>. Another artist who has beefed out his sound with the addition of a sick band recently. You can see his debut band performance in his FS HERE<\/a><\/strong>, but if you can\u2019t be arsed with that – expect some good old fashioned Indie Rock & Roll. With plenty of catchy guitar lines and lots of swagger. Lots and lots of swagger.<\/p>\n Also supporting are those lads that get about a bit, THE CHASE<\/a><\/strong>. We\u2019ve already told ya a bit about them if you look above (are you even reading this properly, yo?), and we highly doubt they\u2019re gonna totally rework their sound into a Drum n Bass trio or something in the three days between these gigs, so, what we said previously should still give you the right idea.<\/p>\n The Bodega<\/strong> Yours in Love of New Music, P.S SCORZAYZEE<\/a><\/strong> is playing a show at Rough Trade<\/a><\/strong> on Saturday. However, considering it\u2019s A – kind of a celebratory party for the Kickstarter backers, and B – if you\u2019re not a backer you have to pay 15 odd quid for the album to gain entry, we didn\u2019t think it stood up in editorial court as a T3 gig. If you are heading down though – you\u2019re in for a right treat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer is still going strong, and we have another diverse set of three gigs to get yersen involved with this week.
