Whether you after sweaty mad-rock, sassy pop, or you just really fancy some exclusive vinyls with a bunch of ace bands, this week has got you covered. Oh, and you know how ever so often there is a week where the universe implodes and every gig is at the same venue. Yeah, that’s happened this week. And I pinky promise it’s not cos of all the pizza I eat from there. Pinky promise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

HAGGARD CAT<\/b><\/a> are one of the most insane bands you\u2019ll ever see live. That may be an opinion, but it\u2019s one that\u2019s mutually shared by 98.7% of people that have seen them in their many previous forms. Now – with just two of \u2018em, Matt and Tom are making balls to the walls mental-rock that\u2019s bloody ace And BIG. And they\u2019re bringing it to RT to celebrate the launch of their debut album. Matt will probably climb on the ceiling. Tom will probs throw a drumstick at your head. You will definitely sweat. And it will defo be one of your favourite moments of the week. Maybe even the month. Or year. It\u2019ll be sick, basically. <\/span><\/p>\n

Monday 16th April
\n<\/span>Rough Trade Nottingham
\n<\/span>Price: Entry free w\/ purchase of album.
\n<\/span>Doors: 7pm (includes album signing after live set).<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Speaking of big characters – <\/span>DOLLIE DEMI<\/b><\/a> is full of sass, will probs leave your ears and eyes dazzled, and will almost definitely be wearing one of the coolest jackets you\u2019ve ever seen. Somehow this is Dollie\u2019s debut Notts show (despite being a Nottingham girl), so it\u2019s a proper spesh one for her. AND she\u2019s launching her latest single at this gig too – \u2018<\/span>B Ur Gal<\/span><\/i>\u2019, as sassy as the text speak would have you expecting it to be. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a killer support lineup too. Kicking things off is <\/span>RACHEL BURBRIDGE <\/b>who definitely isn\u2019t Dollie\u2019s sister. Definitely. Joining <\/span>J SOUL<\/b><\/a> for some beaut acoustic vibes. Then there\u2019s <\/span>LUCY ALEXANDRA<\/b><\/a> who has been bossing the catchy Singer-Songwriter tip for years now. And pre Dollie taking to the stage, the fabulous <\/span>BOY BYE<\/b><\/a>, who make Alternative Ambient Pop, and their bio says they\u2019re \u2018car dealers from Romford\u2019. Wonderfully random. Nice1. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday 18th April<\/span>
\n<\/span>Rough Trade Nottingham<\/span>
\n<\/span>Price: free.
\n<\/span>Doors: 7pm<\/span><\/p>\n

SATURDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

This weekend sees Record Store Day return to the UK, yeah, we can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been a year either. As always, Notts is out in force, with tons of exclusive records for sale (obvs), but more importantly, a ton of awesome live music from local acts. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s shizz going on all over the city, but the live highlights include Cobden Chambers who have live music courtesy of <\/span>I\u2019m Not From London<\/b><\/a>, and Rough Trade, who have their venue full of live music pretty much all day. And let\u2019s face it, there ain\u2019t no better feeling than nabbing that exclusive 7inch you\u2019ve had your eyes on for months. 👀<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday 21st April
\n<\/span>Multiple Venues across Notts City
\n<\/span>Price: free
\n<\/span>Doors: differs per venue<\/span><\/p>\n

Yours in Love of New Music,
