If you’ve had a tough April, we have got the proper medicine for ya reader. Three beautifully diverse guitar gigs. Full of… guitars… and giggage.<\/p>\n

MONDAY\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re part of the 96.7% of the population that don’t like Mondays – we have the cure for you. GET SOME RIFFY GOODNESS DOWN YA. EVA PLAYS DEAD<\/strong><\/a> have just released their new EP ‘The Fix<\/em>‘, and to celebrate they’re throwing the launch party of awesomeness at The Bodega<\/strong><\/a>. Solid riffage. Killer vocals. And hooks\u00a0for daaaaaays. Plus – some quite honest, open songwriting. It’s gonna be well special.<\/p>\n

Supporting we have HARKEN<\/strong><\/a>. Also masters of riffage and killer vocals. Whether you’re screaming your head off to ‘Glory Hound’<\/em>, or moshing out to ‘Move On<\/em>‘ – they’ve got songs on songs on songs. And they’re proper engaging live. Get readyyyyyy.<\/p>\n

Veridian<\/strong> from Reading and The Cruel Knives<\/strong> from Stoke On Trent are also playing.<\/p>\n

Monday 30th April
\nThe Bodega
\nPrice: \u00a38.80 adv
\nDoors: 6:30pm<\/p>\n

FRIDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fresh off the release of their chaotic beauty of an album ‘Challenger<\/em>‘, HAGGARD CAT<\/strong> <\/a>are back in Notts to bring the carnage. Where? Jam Cafe<\/strong><\/a>… yes. Jam Cafe. The v cosy space is playing home to a HAGGARD CAT<\/strong><\/a> show, and we’re sure their beefy, riffy goodness is gonna be blissfully badass up on that stage.<\/p>\n

There’s quite the support lineup too. 94 GUNSHIPS<\/strong><\/a> will be performing a (slightly) stripped back set, as two of their members take to the stage for some bluesy goodness. Then there’s PIZZA SNAKES<\/strong> – we don’t know much about them, but they describe themselves as ‘a Nottingham Rave Punk Party machine’, so we’re super intrigued. And then, pre those cats of haggard, we have BONE CULT<\/strong><\/a>. Bringing the Death-Electronica vibes to JC. Will their lights even fit on the stage? Who knows? Gonna be sick anyways…<\/p>\n

Friday 4th May
\nJam Cafe
\nPrice: free
\nDoors: 7pm<\/p>\n

SUNDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

CROSSLIGHT<\/strong><\/a> are releasing their debut album this week and – similar to them clever humans in EPD, they’re throwing a mega launch party at the good ship Bodega<\/strong><\/a>. Vibey, energetic Rock with plenty of pop sensibility. Topped with a good helping of distortion and thrashing from multiple humans in the band. We’ve heard a few singles from this lot – and if the album is anything like them, it’s gonna be a guitar-filled paradise.<\/p>\n

Kicking things off we have HUNG DADDY<\/strong><\/a>. Yup. HUNG DADDY<\/strong><\/a>. ‘The best worst band you’ll ever hear’ – that’s the way they’re described. I’ll let you find out the rest. Then there’s Pop-Punkers DISTANT BLUE<\/strong><\/a> who have banging breakdowns, and more hooks than that pirate geezer in Peter Pan.<\/p>\n

Dead on Arrival<\/strong> from Derby are also playing.<\/p>\n

Sunday 6th May
\nThe Bodega
