Once upon a time, in a galaxy not so far away,\u00a0cos it\u2019s basically just off Junction 26, there was a city called Notts, that served all of its people with epic musical listening. If you\u2019ve finally dug out ya coat from the wardrobe and swapped your flip flops for wellies then you\u2019ll know it\u2019s fast approaching the cold wintery months, but not all is going cold. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Hoodtown music scene is staying pretty damn HOT (I even made myself vom a little with that one), this week it includes a \u201cchakra\u201d based album launch event at Rough Trade<\/strong><\/a>, an EP launch at Jam Cafe<\/strong><\/a> and an event named after a fish!<\/p>\n

TUESDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Kick starting things is our artist of the Month, <\/span>TREKKAH<\/b><\/a> who is launching his debut album \u201c<\/span>The Enlightening<\/span><\/i>\u201d this Tuesday at Rough Trade<\/strong>. Not only is he treating ya to beaut music, he\u2019s also blessing us with \u201cprojected visuals\u201d for his fourteen track album. Oh, and \u201cfree herbal tea when you arrive\u201d. Bring on the peppermint.<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer \/ Vocalist \/ Instrumentalist, you name it the guys probably done a bloody good job at it. With this album T\u2019s hustle game has been strong as he\u2019s just about collaborated with every man \/ woman \/ dog from Notts for it. His goal for the album is to explore our chakras, which basically means moving energy through all of our body\u2026 sounds pretty advanced for musical listening, but we reckon it\u2019s worth it. <\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019ll be showcasing the whole album, which is an eclectic beauty. The most recent release \u201c<\/span>Time to Rise<\/span><\/i>\u201d feat <\/span>JONATHAN JULIAN<\/b> sounds like a jam from a Bollywood movie with all the spiritual sitar strumming. Can\u2019t wait to see what other tricks he pulls outta the bag on the night\u2026 possibly biscuits for our tea?<\/span><\/p>\n

THURSDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Nightfish – the new free band showcase at <\/span>Southbank City<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>returns this week with yet another killer lineup. <\/span><\/p>\n

Headlining this one are <\/span>THE MOCKING JAYS<\/b><\/a>,<\/a> with their funky Indie styled tunes that are catchy as hell and loaded with poppy hooks and powerful guitar. Recent track <\/span>\u201cSex on the Beach\u201d<\/span><\/i> takes us to a tropical Island where the boys get\u2026 well you know a lil naughty. \u201cThe sand, the shore, the waves dancing by\u201d You\u2019ll be wearing your straw skirt and flower headband to this one and you\u2019re probably gonna be singing and dancing all night long too. <\/span><\/p>\n

FOR THE GIRL <\/b><\/a>are also playing the event, for all your high energy Indie\/Pop\/Rock needs. The musical quintet are made up of Plenty\u2019s unique ferocious vocals, Hall\u2019s rare crunchy and melodic style of playing guitar, Funky bassist Wells, King\u2019s scratchy distinctive guitar stylings and Foxy\u2019s old school Rock drumming. In short the band make one hell of a musical concoction.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

With their brand spanking new E.P ‘<\/span>Portrait of an Autumn Queen<\/span><\/i>‘ out on Friday,\u00a0<\/span>THE GOLDEN TROUBADOURS<\/b><\/a> are having a launch party at <\/span>Jam Cafe<\/b> to celebrate.<\/span><\/p>\n

A dreamy acoustic band that will fill all your soulful Flamenco\/Folk\/Blues needs. Their songs are filled with passion that will inevitably pull at your heartstrings – you have been warned! With soaring and soft vocals from Matthew Taylor and guitar playing layered to the high heavens from Lee Noon and Jade Bowman, brought together by the beautifully played bass lines of James Pheasant and the persistent percussion of Jason Allum. Their songs are often drenched in tales of love and rejection, so bring your tissues and maybe delete your ex’s number before they make you get a lil too reflective.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a voice not too dissimilar to Amy Winehouse<\/strong>, Notts’ own\u00a0<\/span>DAISY GODFREY<\/b><\/a> is supporting the band, playing her acoustic soul with guitarist Ryan. Creating effortless and goosebump endorsing Pop by mixing her heartfelt lyrics and distinctive soulful vocals with Ryans riffs on his guitar, the duo are one to watch on the Notts scene.<\/span><\/p>\n
