Did you know if you eat seven Easter eggs in quick succession, you get free entry into any gig in Nottingham? Loljk. April fools. Haha. *tumbleweed*. <\/span><\/p>\n

Anyways, shit jokes out the way, here\u2019s a bunch of awesome gigs you should go to, with or without chocolate\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

TUESDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Notts in a Nutshell<\/b><\/a> is back at <\/span>The Maze<\/b><\/a>, as always bringing ya a bunch of ace new Notts artists to check out with them fine tabholes of yours. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kicking things off we have <\/span>DAVID OCHROMBEL<\/b><\/a>. Now – we appreciate it\u2019s a big statement, but he\u2019s got more than an air of Springsteen about him. That husky voice. A penchant for old-school songwriting. And very American lyrics (he\u2019s Notts though, we\u2019ve seen his bank statements!). Next up is <\/span>CROOKED SMILE<\/b><\/a>.<\/b> A lil bit Rock-y, a lil bit Punk-y. And with a bunch of showmanship, what more can ya ask from a Rock band ay? You might even give a crooked smile (soz). Then, rounding off the night we have the swish Electro-pop sounds of <\/span>KOMINO<\/b><\/a>. A two-piece, one human on the drums, and one human with more music gear than PMT (good luck at soundcheck gents)! Making super-slick catchy melodies, with a bunch of proper interesting sounds bubbling underneath. And it\u2019s only their second ever gig too. Niceeee. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sweetness<\/b> from Lincolnshire are also playing.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

CUT THE HEROICS<\/b><\/a> are playing their second headline show this week at the mighty <\/span>Rough Trade<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kicking things off we have the EPIC <\/span>A HUNDRED CROWNS<\/b><\/a>. Post-hardcore-ish done very very well. Killer clean vocals. Epic guitars. Screams for daaaaays. These guys are wicked. Following we have <\/span>TOGETHERALONE<\/b><\/a> who make some ace\u2026 well, it\u2019s kinda heavy rock, but that\u2019s such a wank term. So we\u2019ll call them a really good band, with lots of guitars, and some v catchy choruses too. <\/span><\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s <\/span>CUT THE HEROICS.<\/b><\/a> Bringing Notts all the Pop-Punk vibes. Catchy riffs, and a very distinct double-vocal approach from Joe and Stephen. Whether you\u2019re a big fan of the old school Pop-Punk (ala Blink182) or you\u2019re all about the new-school. These guys have got an ace mix of both. And, if you don\u2019t go a bit crazy in the pit, then what are you even doing with your life? <\/span><\/p>\n
