A charity shop xmas shindig, a jangly EP launch, plus vocal-chord training. What more could ya want, ay? X<\/span><\/p>\n

THURSDAY <\/b><\/p>\n

Sue Ryder<\/b><\/a> – that well nice vintage \/ charity shop down opposite 31K (you do know the banging place with the meatballs, right?), are throwing a festive fundraiser in store this Thursday – and there\u2019s a nut-cracking (ha) xmas lineup waiting for ya.<\/span><\/p>\n

A SOFT BOY<\/b> – aka, Ben Webster, frontman of <\/span>SOFT GIRLS & BOYS CLUB<\/b><\/a>, will be kicking tings off with a beaut stripped back solo set. Proper unique, and defo not cos the rest of the band are off getting pissed in a xmas hat. Promise. Then, <\/span>MEGATRAIN<\/b><\/a> – the eccentric, and bloody wonderful collab project between Tiger and Felix MB. Spacey, electronic-y, full of beaut vocals-y goodness. Ahhh. And then there\u2019s <\/span>DO NOTHING<\/b><\/a> who are basically gonna blow the walls of SR with their Art-Rock which lends itself more than nicely to a good old fashioned rock out. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thursday 13th December
\n<\/span>Sue Ryder
\n<\/span>Price: free, but donations encouraged.
\n<\/span>Doors: 6pm.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Jangly, slightly odd (but in an almost euphoric way), and v catchy – that\u2019s probably a pretty good summary of <\/span>SUNDAZE<\/b><\/a>. They\u2019ll get your eardrums and move-able body parts bopping, and then have ya shouting their hooks back at ya (though unfortunately you don\u2019t have effect pedals, so maybs keep it a few db lower, yeah?) This is an EP launch – so expect lots of new tunes, and lots of happy faces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Support comes from\u00a0<\/span>MOON<\/b> and<\/span> THE SEL FOUNDATION.<\/b> Two relatively new artists – who don\u2019t have too much out on that interweb thing about them. Though – the event page says that the former are full of \u201cpower and energy\u201d, and the latter, they\u2019re \u201cexotic and hypnotic\u201d. Which, yeah, intrigues us too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Katie Pham & The Moonbathers<\/b> from Sheffield will also be playing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday 14th December
\n<\/span>The Bodega
\n<\/span>Price: \u00a35.50
\n<\/span>Doors: 7pm<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Every December, Pop-Alt-Rock heroes <\/span>LACEY<\/b><\/a> throw an annual xmas shindig full of beaut melodies, a good old fashioned mosh-along, and lots of\u2026 well, christmas shit. As ya may have noticed, it is that festive time of year again – so they\u2019re back at <\/span>Rock City <\/b><\/a>basement this time to get ya vocal chords\u2026 and limbs, all in the festive spirit. <\/span><\/p>\n

Supporting are <\/span>SHADOWS LIKE STRANGERS<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>THE HALF EIGHT<\/b><\/a>. SLS – they\u2019re a band that are very good at aggressive, anthemic Alt-Rock. Rammed with melody. And then THE (that\u2019s an acronym, btw), they\u2019re absolute bossmen at the super catchy Pop hook singalong. Ahh, what a lineup. <\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday 15th December
\n<\/span>Rock City
\n<\/span>Price: \u00a38 adv
\n<\/span>Doors: 7pm<\/span><\/p>\n
