The Easter Bunny is being oh so kind and giving you three awesome and free and\/or charitable gigs. There\u2019s a fundraiser for one of Nottingham\u2019s best loved venues, an album launch at <\/span>Rough Trade<\/b><\/a> and night full of pop at <\/span>The Contemporary<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

The Maze<\/strong><\/a> have given loads of Nottingham musicians their first gigs. Now, they need your help. As well as setting up a Kickstarter, they\u2019re putting on a gig to help raise money to make some big improvements to the venue. So empty ya pockets and listen to some great music.<\/span><\/p>\n

Headlining the night are THE FLAVELLS<\/b><\/a><\/span>. They released their EP \u2018No! No! No!<\/em>\u2019 earlier in the year, the band make Indie Rock n Roll, with that undeniable Bugg\/Kennedy family tone, the band are getting slicker with every performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recently formed <\/span>VIYELLAS<\/b><\/a> will be performing on Wednesday. They released their first recordings just over a month ago, expect Indie Rock filled with catchy riffs.<\/span><\/p>\n

REBEL CITY REVIVAL<\/b><\/a> have been crazy busy, gigging around the country since the start of the year. Fronted by Nick Aslam, the band formed last year and make catchy Indie Rock.<\/span><\/p>\n

MICHAEL REDDINGTON <\/b><\/a>will be offering his services to The Maze, bringing incredible Indie Rock to the venue. His new song \u2018The Man I Used To Be<\/em>\u2019 is a bit of handbrake from his usual stuff but it\u2019s a bloody good handbrake.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

WIDOWS<\/b><\/a> are launching their new album \u2018Oh Deer God<\/em>\u2019 at <\/span>Rough Trade<\/b> on Friday. Five years since the release of their debut \u2018Death Valley Duchess<\/em>,\u2019 the new album is much anticipated. Dubbed as \u201cNottingham\u2019s favourite son\u2019s of the riff,\u201d the band’s heavy, Stoner Rock is loud enough to shatter glass. And your eardrums. In a good way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regulus <\/b>from Sheffield and <\/span>Mastiff<\/b> from Derby will also be playing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rough Trade

TWIN KIDD<\/b><\/a> are headlining the event with their incredible, uplifting, ambient pop. Stef\u2019s euphoric vocal over electronic beats make for a mesmerising experience. They\u2019ve been working on a new single recently that we can\u2019t wait to hear.<\/span><\/p>\n

VERA GULL<\/b><\/a> will be harmonising the life outta Tempreh, making Dark Pop which will can only sound amazing echoing through the stunning venue. They haven’t played many shows yet – but each show they have played, they’ve left the audience stunned. In a good way.<\/span><\/p>\n

CHERRY HEX AND THE DREAM CHURCH<\/b><\/a> will have glockenspiel in hand, ready to recreate their spacey, shoegazey\u00a0Pop, leaving the audience in a dream world filled with cotton candy and more glockenspiels. In a good… okay I’ll stop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
