We\u2019ve spent the past fifteen minutes tryna come up with a lame Halloween themed joke to start this Top Three, but it was a spooktacular failure. Good thing there\u2019s plenty of ace Notts music to write about then, init? <\/span><\/p>\n

This week sees some pretty epic shows for a number of bands. Read alllllll about it below.<\/span><\/p>\n

WEDNESDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

FIELD STUDIES<\/b><\/a> – the brooding, incredibly talented, almost like Radiohead with a slice of fuzzy misery band, take over <\/span>The Bodega <\/b><\/a>for a headline show this week, and it is gonna be all kinds of EPIC. You\u2019ve probably heard of the phrase \u201cwall of sound\u201d, well that\u2019s exactly what FS create. A massive wall of sound that engulfs your eardrums, your mind, and probably some other nondescript parts of your body too. Incredible sonic backdrops, paired with one of the most haunting, and beautiful vocals you\u2019ll ever hear. And we hear they\u2019ve been working on lots of new music. We. Cannot. Wait.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pssst, there\u2019s some supports to be announced shortly too. <\/span>

WEDNESDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Rough Trade<\/b><\/a> are back again with their \u2018Live Triple Bill\u2019 series, where, get this – they bring three, live acts, together to perform for you. See what they did there?<\/span><\/p>\n

Kicking things off this week are the eclectic Indie soundscapes of <\/span>SONDER<\/b><\/a>. She is an incredible live artist. Guitar riffs for days, some proper foot-stomping moments, and then that voice – THAT VOICE MAAAAAAN. It\u2019s kinda haunting and soothing at the same time. And she already has a bunch of ridiculously catchy tunes, too. Check out her Future Session <\/span>HERE<\/b><\/a>, to see what we mean.<\/span><\/p>\n

#FSN2016 champs <\/span>SUPER FURNITURE<\/b><\/a> are up next. The \u2018Alternative\u2019 band have been putting the bloody work in, ain\u2019t they? They seem to be gigging 64 times a week\u2026 okay, maybe not that many but ya get the point. These fellas are putting in the effort and it shows, including in their songwriting. Have a listen to new single \u2018Sleepless\u2019 to hear how they\u2019re developing\u2026 I\u2019m off to go and impersonate Herbie\u2019s falsetto. <\/span><\/p>\n

Headlining we have Indie Rock n Roll three-piece <\/span>SAME STREETS<\/b><\/a>. Loved by <\/span>Fred Perry<\/b>, <\/span>This Feeling<\/b>, and basically anyone who\u2019s anyone in Indie music – these gents are on their way to big tingalings. Punchy, full of rockstar swagger, and with some ridiculously catchy melodies too. these guys will give you full-on rockstar envy. The only way to compete – make sure you show off some top level air guitar!<\/span><\/p>\n

Rough Trade
\n<\/b>Wednesday 2nd November
\n<\/span>Doors: 7pm
\n<\/span>Price: free<\/span><\/p>\n

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

This Friday, <\/span>CROSA ROSA<\/b><\/a> join a small number of Notts artists to headline <\/span>Rescue Rooms <\/b>main stage, and they\u2019re bringing <\/span>AUTUMN DIET PLANS<\/b> along for the ride too.<\/span><\/p>\n

CROSA ROSA<\/b><\/a> engulf us into a fuzzy psychedelic wonderland, full of distortion, riffs a plenty, and some damn pretty dresses too (<\/span>CONTEXT<\/b><\/a>). And they\u2019re proper rockstars – they have a HUGE stage presence, so we\u2019re proper buzzing to see them take on that RR main stage. Oh – and try and get their new single out of your head. We\u2019ve been looking very odd as we walk down the street screeching \u201cWALK LIKE A LADY\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

AUTUMN DIET PLANS <\/b><\/a>also bring the fuzz and riffs, slight difference with these guys though – they\u2019re from space\u2026 no, really. They landed from the International Space Station a few months ago and since they\u2019ve been chilling down here on planet Earth, making riff-heavy jams for us all to lose our minds too. Ace. <\/span><\/p>\n

Baba Naga<\/b> from Sheffield are also playing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rescue Rooms<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Friday 4th November<\/span>
\n<\/span>Doors: 6:30pm
\n<\/span>Price: \u00a36.75<\/span><\/p>\n

Yours in Love of New Music,
\n<\/span>Sam Nahirny x<\/span><\/p>\n

PS – SLEAFORD MODS<\/strong><\/a> play Rock City<\/strong><\/a> this week… twice. Yes… TWICE. A slice of Notts music history, and, if you’re quick, you can still be a part of it as the Friday show still has some tix left<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
