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

YOU WANT FOX<\/b><\/a> are about to release album #2 into the big wide world, and to celebrate, they\u2019re giving it the sickest launch party at <\/span>The Chameleon.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Kicking things off are MARTY<\/b><\/a><\/span>\u00a0– a melodic, all-girl Pop-Folk band. Aimee, Krista and Rhianne, come together to make songs that will make you sway, bop, and almost definitely do the \u2018yup, really enjoying this\u2019 head nod. <\/span><\/p>\n

Then, we have <\/span>DESENSITISED<\/b><\/a> who bring bad-assery, lots of guitars, plus some damn catchy choruses too. Having just had another member join \u2018em, they are now officially 50% more bad-ass, and will be bringing said bad-assery to The Chameleon. Have we mentioned they\u2019re pretty bad-ass?<\/span><\/p>\n

And then <\/span>YOU WANT FOX<\/a>.<\/b> A raucous, chaotic, and bloody brilliant concoction of guitars, pop hooks, and punk-sass. As previously mentioned, this is album #2, and if it\u2019s anything like the first, it\u2019s gonna be a beautiful beast. And you know what – no matter what songs they\u2019re playing, YWF are always an incredibly engaging live band. So I can almost guarantee ya reader, ya know, I\u2019d bet a solid \u00a35.67, that you\u2019ll have a wicked night. <\/span><\/p>\n

Friday 27th April
\n<\/span>The Chameleon
\n<\/span>Price: \u00a34 adv \/ \u00a35 otd

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

I\u2019m Not From Londo<\/strong><\/a>n<\/strong><\/a> are back at the<\/span> Fox & Grapes<\/b><\/a> (ya know, that swish pub down Sneinton Market way), with one of the best-named events we\u2019ve seen in ages – \u2018The Food of Love\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kicking off things this time is the bluesy goodness of <\/span>RYAN FARMER<\/b><\/a>. We\u2019re told he\u2019s got even more tales of \u2018whiskey, women and worry\u2019, ya know, the big three W\u2019s. And we\u2019re pretty confident there\u2019ll be plenty of beefy bluesy riffs, and Ryan\u2019s incredibly unique vocal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next up is the Folk-y Acoustic-y Pop bliss of <\/span>THE IDOLINS<\/b><\/a>. Whether it\u2019s the stunning melodies, instrumentation, or just vocalist Karen\u2019s incredibly resonating storytelling, they\u2019re always a captivating live band. And seeing them in this intimate of a space is gonna be well special. <\/span><\/p>\n

Headlining we have Indie-Pop-Rockers <\/span>DON\u2019T FORGET RUPERT<\/a>.<\/b> Take everything you love about the blissful Pop-Guitar crossover of The 1975 and similar bands, and throw it into a proper Notts package, and you get DFR. Even though they ain\u2019t on till 1015, I guarantee you\u2019ll be singing a lil bit mental along to their super slick hooks.<\/span><\/p>\n
