It\u2019s April. It\u2019s finally getting to that point where we can go outside, and not have to wrap ourselves in multiple duvets. So, you\u2019ve got no excuse not to get yersen involved with some of the awesome gigs going off this week. This week there is a headline show at The Contemporary<\/a><\/strong>, an album launch at The Chameleon<\/strong><\/a> and a Sunday filled with sweet music at Annie\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

FRIDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

PAPER PLANE CRASH<\/a><\/b> have a headline show at The Contemporary<\/strong> on Friday, having just finishing their new single \u2018House of Echoes<\/em>.\u2019 The three piece make Indie Surf-Pop that is perfect for those summer months on the horizon. We hear their debut album is not too far off (it\u2019s only taken them 6 years to get there) so you\u2019ll probs get a sneaky peak at that too.<\/span><\/p>\n

I AM LONO<\/a><\/b> will be supporting PPC. With a freshly added new member, the band produce <\/span>\u201cclaustrophobic, pounding, paranoid pop music gold.\u201d They released their self-titled debut EP through Louder City Records in August last year showcasing their spacey vocals, dark 80s Pop synths and some incredible bass hooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also catch support from <\/span>THE CUSP<\/a><\/b>. The three piece, signed to I Own You Records, formed way back in 2008 and have found a genre middle-ground somewhere between Psychedelic, Indie Rock and Shoegaze. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Contemporary Cafe Bar
\n<\/b>Friday 8th April
\n<\/span>Doors: 8pm
\n<\/span>Tickets: Free<\/span><\/p>\n

SATURDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

IN ISOLATION<\/a><\/b> will be launching their debut album \u2018A Certain Fractal Light<\/em>\u2019 at The Chameleon<\/strong> on Saturday\u00a0night. It may have taken the New Wave\/Post-Punk three piece more than seven bloody years to get their first album out there, but *CLICHE ALERT* it\u2019s defo been worth the wait. Check out one of their most recent tracks on NMP 123 HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Support comes from Post-Punk Indie Rockers <\/span>PRIME<\/b>. The band, formed in 2014, released their latest EP \u2018IOU<\/em>\u2019 last year and are set to release an album later in 2016. As a live band – they have ridiculous amounts of energy; prepare for sweat, moshing, and… well, more sweat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also supporting are <\/span>DIABLOFURS<\/a><\/b> – a band that describe their music as \u201cnoise noise noise tuneage daydream\u201d, influenced by life, accidents, death, art, sex and (arguably most importantly) wine. Yeah – they\u2019ve got quite a unique sound. Grab some wine of your own and have a noisy bop. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Chameleon Arts Cafe
\n<\/b>Saturday\u00a09th April
\n<\/span>Doors: 8pm
\n<\/span>Tickets: \u00a34<\/span><\/p>\n

SUNDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

This week, the Sunday Sessions are back at Annie\u2019s Burger Shack<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a load of sweet music from some awesome new Nottingham artists and some really bloody good burgers. What more could you want from your Sunday evening?<\/span><\/p>\n

CHRIS FOX<\/a><\/b> is headlining the evening, taking influence from everyone from Kate Bush<\/strong> to Drake<\/strong> (I would love to see those two collab). He creates Acoustic Pop with hints of Rock, RnB and even Rap. You can catch the soulful sounds of <\/span>LIA WHITE<\/a><\/b>. The 16 year old has been gigging a lot recently after starting her YouTube channel just over a year ago. <\/span>SCRUFFY REECE<\/a><\/b> will be bringing his raw (and yes, kind of scruffy) but refined Country sounds. Acoustic duo <\/span>LADY ROSE<\/a><\/b> will be performing. Made up of singer Joanne Lovatt and guitarist James Mather, they create acoustic, soulful sounds with a beautifully strong vocal and gorgeous guitar melodies. <\/span>DAVE ATKINS<\/a><\/b> will also be taking to the stage, with his storytelling lyrics and unique guitar sounds. You can catch the husky voice and foot-tapping sounds of <\/span>DAVE BROWN JR<\/a><\/b>. And finally the mysterious DOM WATERFIELD<\/strong> will be performing (he is mysterious because we can\u2019t find anything about him. But he could just be a mysterious kinda guy).<\/span><\/p>\n

Annie\u2019s Burger Shack
\n<\/b>Sunday 10th April
\n<\/span>Doors: 6.30pm
