HI! My name is, what?! My name is, who?! My name is (chika chika) the Nusic Top Three gigs of the week obvs. You might wanna take some deep breaths, have a glass of water and a sit down for this one \u2018cos it\u2019s a biggun. That \u2018chika chika\u2019 was supposed to be a vinyl scratch by the way, 10 points for everyone that got it first time around. This week we\u2019re running through metaphorical fields of hay, being visited by the spirit animal of Jamie xx<\/strong> and Kele <\/strong><\/span>Okereke<\/strong> and getting all smushy on you.<\/span><\/p>\n

WEDNESDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Wednesday Rough Trade<\/strong> are bringing you some seriously cool vibes in the form of LUKE PETER FOSTER<\/strong><\/a>. His music is perfect for the Autumn – the kind of thing you wanna put on when it\u2019s chucking it down outside but you\u2019re indoors all cosied up. Netflix and chill anyone? <\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping things mellow-ish but with added some distortion are VEGA BAY<\/strong><\/a>, who are also making an appearance. When I close my eyes and listen to\u00a0VEGA BAY<\/strong><\/a> I think of loads of really fit indie-types slow motion running towards each other through some fields of hay, Baywatch style. Anyone else? Tell us your\u00a0VEGA BAY<\/strong><\/a>-sed inspo (#terriblepunalert).<\/span><\/p>\n

Rough Trade
\n<\/strong>Wednesday 11th October
\nDoors: 7pm
\nEntry: Free<\/p>\n

SATURDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Contemporary<\/strong> are putting on a Black History Month Celebration night on Saturday, and as if the cause alone wasn\u2019t enough for celebration, this line up has got us seriously hyped. <\/span><\/p>\n

JOY MUMFORD<\/strong><\/a> is headlining and bringing her special brand of lighthearted lyrics and a folksy, soulful voice that makes us feel all smushy inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rumour has it that\u00a0SAWYER<\/strong><\/a> started making music after the spirit animals of Jamie xx<\/strong> and Kele <\/strong><\/span>Okereke<\/strong> came to him in a dream as a set of drums before bursting into flames. That, by the way, is<\/span> probably…definitely…100% made up by me. His music has got some wicked bassy vocals and really atmospheric textures and is pretty much a spiritual experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

DAISY\u00a0GODFREY<\/strong><\/a> will also be there bringing an RnB touch to acoustic tunes about love that take us back to summer and make us wanna tell our mates\/ girlfriends\/ boyfriends\/ cats how much we love them.<\/p>\n

The Nottingham Contemporary
