Happy 2016 folks. There’s plenty of New Notts musical action to get involved with this week, including an Indie Pop Rock headline show at Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong>, Rough Trade<\/a><\/strong> are showcasing some of the best\u00a0upcoming artists\u00a0and there\u2019s an Indie Pop headline show at The Bodega<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

GIG ONE<\/b> – Thursday<\/span><\/p>\n

After supporting both <\/span>Coasts<\/b> and <\/span>APRIL TOWERS<\/a><\/b> at the venue last year, <\/span>SUSPECT ALIBI<\/a><\/b> will be taking to the stage at Rescue Rooms<\/strong> on Thursday for their own headline show. Not a bad way to kick off the new year, ay? The West Bridgford five-piece formed back in 2012 and have been making Indie Pop Rock ever since. The band were the winners of #FSN2015<\/strong> which led to them playing Splendour in July. Their anthemic sound is fuelled by synth keys, refined guitars and catchy choruses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Support comes from <\/span>THE MOCKING JAYS<\/a><\/b>, who released their debut EP \u2018TMJ<\/em>\u2019 last month over at The Maze<\/strong><\/a> and also received their first National radio play on 6Music<\/strong>. The four-piece create Pop infused with Indie stylings,\u00a0refined riffs and choruses so catchy you’ll be singing ’em as if you’ve heard them hundreds of times before!<\/span><\/p>\n

THE SPECIES<\/a><\/b> are the second support act of the evening. The four piece create Alternative Rock inspired by late 60s Psychedelia which they describe as \u201cheavy, gloomy and delicately dissonant.\u201d But it\u2019s not anywhere near as depressing as they make it sound. Promise.<\/span><\/p>\n

NO DISCO<\/a><\/b> are also supporting on Thursday. They released their EP \u2018Just Visiting<\/em>\u2019 at the end of November showcasing their Pop laced, Indie Rock sound. The three piece create music reminiscent of the mid-noughties filled with refined riffs and memorable hooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black Cats & Magpies<\/b> from Derbyshire will also be supporting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rescue Rooms
\n<\/b>Thursday 7th January
\n<\/span>Doors: 6pm

GIG TWO<\/b> – Friday<\/span><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t Stop Won\u2019t Stop<\/strong> <\/a>(CSWS) is coming to Rough Trade<\/strong> on Friday. They’ll be\u00a0bringing you a range of R&B, Hip Hop, House and Funk from some of Notts’ finest\u00a0as well as resident DJs.<\/span><\/p>\n

ELLA KNIGHT<\/a><\/b> will be performing on Friday. The seventeen year old has a gorgeously soulful voice that shines through on all her varied styles of music. She\u2019s already performed in front of the Royal Family and got a picture with Haz and Wills (jealous? Me? How dare you). Not many musicians can say that just a few years into their career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poet, rapper and producer <\/span>J GOLD<\/a><\/b> was born into a family of musicians and began creating his own music from an early age. His track \u2018Soul On My Sleeve<\/em>\u2019 was played on 1Xtra<\/strong> in early 2015 by Nottingham\u2019s own Mista Jam. <\/span>KAMAR<\/a><\/b>, who features on the track, will also be performing on the evening. You can also catch <\/span>KC DA ROOKEE<\/a><\/b> who has recently returned to the scene after falling back in love with Hip Hop. The artists have just collaboratively released a mixtape under LTMT<\/strong>, which stands for Let The Music Talk. The project are showcasing their new wave of music and individual sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Electronic mastermind EARLY BIRD<\/strong><\/a> will be providing the beats.<\/p>\n

Rough Trade
\n<\/b>Friday 8th January

GIG THREE <\/b>– Saturday<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday night sees <\/span>ASHFIELDS<\/a><\/b> headline The Bodega<\/strong>! After forming back in March 2014 (which was actually nearly two years ago, not the other day. Yeah, I know!) the five-piece from Sutton-in-Ashfield have gone onto play The Royal Concert Hall<\/strong><\/a> and come 3rd in Q Magazine\u2019s Richer Unsigned Indie Chart 2015. Not too bad, ay? They create Indie Pop with a slightly darker side to it, recently releasing a video to new single \u2018The Wild<\/em>\u2019 from their upcoming debut EP. <\/span><\/p>\n

ANWYN WILLIAMS<\/a><\/b> will be supporting on the evening. Creating her own style of Acoustic Country Folk influenced by the likes of <\/span>Joni Mitchell<\/b> and <\/span>Stevie Nicks<\/b>. Writing beautifully honest and storytelling lyrics performed with her sweet, Country twanged voice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also supporting will be <\/span>PAT CUNNINGHAM<\/a><\/b>. Pat is a guitar master\/genius\/god and has recently started teaching his magical guitar ways at bootcamps in Mansfield. He had to take a break from gigging for a while last year after suffering with his wrist from playing his guitar too much (that’s dedication!) But he\u2019s rested now and he\u2019s back!<\/span><\/p>\n
