There\u2019s bloody loads of gigs going on in Notts this week, but we\u2019ve narrowed it down to this top three for you. There\u2019s a night of Pop Punk at<\/span> Acoustic Rooms<\/b><\/a>, three of <\/span>Rough Trade<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> Nottingham faves and a <\/span>NTSU <\/b><\/a>showcase at <\/span>The Chameleon<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Acoustic Rooms<\/strong> take on Pop Punk this Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

AS DECEMBER FALLS <\/b><\/a>make noisy, female fronted Pop Punk. The band have had some love from Rock Sound this month, complementing Bethany\u2019s \u2018powerhouse vocals,\u2019 saying the band would be right at home on the Warped Tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

SAY THE WORD <\/b><\/a>have been busy recording some new music and have even recorded a new music video. Maybe we can get an acoustified sneak peek of their upbeat Pop Punk? Yep, acoustified, I\u2019m going with that.<\/span><\/p>\n

HOMESICK<\/b><\/a> will also be acoustifying their Pop Punk. HS have matured their sound loads over the past year, even since they wowed us in the final of last year\u2019s FSN final. And you definitely don\u2019t wanna miss their dance moves either (they basically do this thing <\/span>\u00af_(\u30c4)_\/\u00af <\/span>a lot).<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also catch <\/span>The<\/b> Ultraviolet<\/b> from Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rescue Rooms
\n<\/b>Monday 1st May
\n<\/span>Doors: 8pm
\n<\/span>Entry: Free<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Wednesday sees Rough Trade<\/a> put on their 10th Triple Bill, choosing three of their fav artists of the month.<\/span><\/p>\n

First up are Hucknall\u2019s finest Indie Rock n Rollers<\/span> THE RUFFS<\/b><\/a>. The four piece, fronted by Connor Spray, have been making music together since the start of 2015. Their performances are filled with swagger, punchy riffs and storytelling lyricism.<\/span><\/p>\n

TWIN KIDD<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> euphoric, blissful Pop will be echoing through Rough Trade on Wednesday. Stef\u2019s ambient vocal delicately placed over steady electronic beats make for <\/span>beautiful soundscapes that will leave you uplifted.<\/p>\n

Last but not least are Alt Rockers, <\/span>THE VARLETTS<\/b><\/a>. The band got some love from one of their idols The Cribs<\/strong> on Twitter the other day, saying they love the guitars and spoken word parts. I mean – that’s pretty cool!<\/span><\/p>\n

Rough Trade
\n<\/b>Wednesday 3rd April
\n<\/span>Doors: 7pm
\n<\/span>Entry: Free<\/span><\/p>\n

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

The NTSU Music Society<\/strong><\/a> have grabbed some of their fave artists from across Notts, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

ALICE SHORT<\/b><\/a>, who has just released a brand new EP called \u2018Frantic Dreams, The Harshest Nightmares<\/em>\u2019 which has had brilliant reviews from the likes of LeftLion. Get down to see her incredible poetic Rap.<\/span><\/p>\n

ELMZ<\/b><\/a> will also be there. He won Def Jam Rap Starz\u2019s national contest for songwriting when he was 16. Can\u2019t argue with that.<\/span><\/p>\n

LUKE PETER FOSTER<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> smooth spoken word over some top-class instrumentals will have you feeling all chilled out and cosy inside with his infatuation with rain.<\/span><\/p>\n

CERTIFIED BLOOD & FAMILY <\/b>will be bringing some of their MCs down for the evening. The likes of <\/span>FONZSE<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>OMIE OMZ<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>POET<\/b> will be showing you mind blowing performances.<\/span><\/p>\n

MOTORMOUF<\/b><\/a>, the half man, half beatbox machine will be there. His sick flows and beats will have you on the edge of your seats (although you\u2019ll probably be standing). May have ~accidentally rhymed there. Oops.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chameleon Arts Cafe
\n<\/b>Thursday 4th May
\n<\/span>Doors: 7:30pm
\n<\/span>Entry: \u00a33.50 OTD or Online
\n<\/span>18+<\/span><\/p>\n

Yours In Love Of New Music,
\n<\/span>Katie Beard x<\/span><\/p>\n

P.S. – The Future Sound of Nottingham Final<\/strong> <\/a>is taking place at Rock City this Sunday. We thought we probs shouldn\u2019t put our own gig in the top three. But if you want to see HASHTAGOBI<\/a>, ROE GREEN<\/a>, BROTHERHOOD<\/a>, THE DANDYLIONS<\/a>, ONE GIANT CAUSEWAY<\/a>, KELSEY SHAW<\/a><\/strong> (and a secret special guest) all for free, then get yourselves down to Rock City<\/strong><\/a> at 6.30pm. No tickets required.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
