Bleddy ell, it’s been well miserable outside the past few days ain’t it? Good job there’s loadsa heart-warming, soul-nourishing gigs to warm yersen up then int it?<\/p>\n

MONDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Kicking off the week are the heros <\/span>AMBER RUN<\/b><\/a>! After a crazy 2015, charting in the top 40 and heading all over the UK festival scene, they\u2019ve been a little quiet, bubbling away and working on some new music and now they\u2019re BACK! And they\u2019re celebrating the launch of their new album with a big old party at your favourite Acoustic Rooms<\/strong><\/a>! New tracks <\/span>\u2018Stranger\u2019<\/span><\/i> hail back to their epic almost choir-esque sound – with proper anthemic vibes! <\/span>\u2018Fickle\u2019<\/span><\/i> too has those mellow searching piano chords dressed with some twinkly guitar lines; if you liked them before, you\u2019re sure as hell gonna love em now. They didn\u2019t come alone either; in true Acoustic Rooms style, they\u2019ve brought some mates along for the ride. <\/span><\/p>\n

Joining them will be the never-endingly-adorable<\/span> MOLLY & JACK<\/b><\/a>. Having released \u2018Many a Moon\u2019<\/em> not many moons ago (budum-tissss), it\u2019s safe to say they\u2019ve probably got some new music ready for ya! WIth some beautiful melodies and breathtaking harmonies, this delightful duo know exactly how to bring a knowing smile to your face. Basically you\u2019ll just be really happy, make sure you grab a mate to cuddle too! <\/span><\/p>\n

Indie Pop kings <\/span>ASHFIELDS<\/b><\/a> are joining the party as well. After playing all the festivals and gigs last year this is actually their first Notts gig of 2017. With some killer new music under their belts, the upbeat Indie noise is sure to get you shimmying across them Rescue Rooms tiles. <\/span><\/p>\n

ELANA<\/b><\/a> is also coming along for the ride. After supporting <\/span>BILLIE<\/b><\/a> with her EP launch back in November at Rescue Rooms, her sound was so beautiful, they wanted her back! Her vocals are so distinctive and can go from haunting to soothing within the same song. Prepare to have them goosebumps well and truly raised. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

94 GUNSHIPS<\/a><\/b>\u00a0take over Rough Trade<\/strong><\/a> this Wednesday.\u00a0<\/span>With quirky, unpredictable melodies, gruff vocals and wacky guitar lines, it all sounds a little Americana, and you might feel like you\u2019re in that film <\/span>\u2018Holes\u2019<\/span><\/i>, especially that \u2018<\/span>Dig A Hole song\u2019<\/span><\/i>. (For context, the lyrics are essentially \u2018dig a hole, fill it in, dig another one\u2019. Wasn\u2019t that the plot of Holes? Why did they do that again? What was the point of that? Anyway, I digress\u2026) 2015 was a big old year gigging and being their weird selves, 2016 was a fair bit quieter. But no fear, as they\u2019re back in full force with four new tracks under their belts and a potential tour on the way, this show is sure to be the catalyst to many more! \u00a0Come along, hope they get dressed up for the occasion and everyone can get weird together and dance! <\/span><\/p>\n

LOUIS ANTONIOU<\/b><\/a> has been promising that 2017 is going to be a big year from him and his band with new singles and gigs galore! He draws upon Nottingham a great deal in his music, and despite this, he hasn\u2019t played in Nottingham since Hockley Hustle (which feels like a lifetime ago)! New, tune ‘<\/span>I Don’t Want No More Woes<\/span><\/i>\u2019 will just be arriving in your respective Soundcloud and Youtube homepages just as you head out to hear the live rendition! Make sure you turn up early for this delicious blend of Seasick Steve and Bob Dylan! Oh, and expect a harmonica. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing the blues from the South West is gorgeous singer-songwriter <\/span>Mary Spender<\/b>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Rough Trade

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

#FSN2016 champs <\/span>SUPER FURNITURE <\/b><\/a>are only having a blummin launch party for a single, and people are buzzzzzzed! They had a crazy crazy 2016 doing gigs round the clock in venues like the <\/span>Royal Concert Hall<\/b> (v. nice), so 2017 is the start of a new adventure for the lads. <\/span>\u2018Sleepless\u2019<\/span><\/i> will make you wish you had those mad guitar skills, with an almost Reggae sound to it, but they have some NEW music for your ears. It\u2019s called <\/span>\u2018Discontent\u2019<\/span><\/i> and will have ya feeling anything other than that. \u00a0Alt Rock with a bit of an edge, bit of Indie thrown in, bit Math-Rocky too, I can\u2019t really describe them, you\u2019ll probably just have to go along and find out. <\/span><\/p>\n
