\nGIG ONE<\/strong>
\n
\nFarmyard Presents<\/strong><\/a> – ROB GREEN<\/a><\/strong> – EMILY AND THE MARTENS<\/a> <\/strong>– ADAM BURNAGE AND THE ROOKERIES<\/a><\/strong> at The Jam Cafe<\/a><\/strong> on Friday 27th.
\n
\nThe ever fantastic ROB GREEN<\/a><\/strong> will be entertaining what is sure to be a packed out Jam Cafe<\/a><\/strong> on Friday evening with his playful soul tuneage. A natural entertainer and all round Mr Nice Guy, Rob’s upbeat RnB soaked in jazz will have you dancing on the tables. His lyrics tell a story of love and loss providing those darker undertones to the feel good music. Check out our Future Session with him HERE<\/a><\/strong>.
\n
\nEMILY AND THE MARTENS<\/a><\/strong> are soulful, and folksey and drenched in bluesy vibes. Songs inspired by life and love, and tunes to stick in your head. Fantastic song writing and one of the tightest bands in Notts that always guarantees a cracking performance.
\n
\nADAM BURNAGE AND THE ROOKERIES<\/a><\/strong> will open the night in chilled out fashion. Belying his young age with his very individual, instantly recognisable and distinctive voice Adam is a songwriter of skill and clear ability. A great and charming performer as a solo act we’re really looking forward to seeing him perform with his Rookeries.
\n
\nWithout doubt this will be a brilliant night and its absolutely free so why not head down!
\n
\nDOORS: 8pm
\nTICKETS: FREE
\n
\nGIG TWO<\/strong>
\n
\n\"\"<\/a>bUTTON pUSHER<\/a><\/strong> presents FRESH EYES FOR THE DEAD GUY<\/a><\/strong>, TRIBAL FIGHTERS<\/strong>, SOME SKELETONS<\/a><\/strong> and GREAT DEEDS<\/strong> at The Chameleon<\/a> <\/strong>on Saturday 28th.
\n
\nLocal maniacs FRESH EYES FOR THE DEAD GUY<\/strong><\/a> headline their first ever bUTTON pUSHER<\/a><\/strong> show in the possibly the greatest live music venue in the galaxy (bit extreme maybe). These punk thrashers never fail to create on stage chaos, scratch that, it isnt just onstage chaos they cause, its pandemonium amongst the punters too. Sweaty thrash punk not your cuppa? Well at the very least you’ll be guaranteed a nipple in the face. Check out our gig review of them smashing it back in February HERE<\/a><\/strong>.
\n
\nSupport comes from locals boys SOME SKELETONS<\/a><\/strong>. Crashing alt rock with velvet vocals and ever changing pace that should have the rickety old venue swaying. Give them a listen HERE<\/a><\/strong>. SOME SKELETONS<\/a><\/strong> are first on the bill followed by GREAT DEEDS<\/strong> and TRIBAL FIGHTERS<\/strong> with FRESH EYES FOR THE DEAD GUY<\/a><\/strong> headlining.
\n
\nDOORS: 8pm
\nTICKETS: \u00a34 or \u00a33 with NUS

\nGIG THREE<\/b>
\n
\nIf I\u2019m Not From London\u2019s <\/a><\/strong> previous gigs are anything to go by, at the Nottingham Contemporary <\/a><\/strong> on April 27th a fiery chasm of unprecedented musical mayhem awaits you; obviously the perfect accompaniment to show off some of Nott\u2019s finest fine artists.
\n

\nThose with a nervous disposition may want to barricade themselves in a small corner; HALLOUMINATI<\/a><\/strong> specialises in music that won\u2019t just grab you by the balls, it\u2019ll pick you up by the throat and throttle you to the core without a trace of mercy. Not afraid to think outside the box, HALLOUMINATI<\/a><\/strong> fuse together elements of traditional Greek and Balkan music with punk, reggae and jazz to create a mash-up medley of instruments and vocals that shouldn\u2019t work together but really, really do.
\n
\nTrippy, synthy riffs supported by basslines drenched in testosterone are the order of the day for techno rockers PRACTICAL LOVERS<\/a> <\/strong>. Providing a grungy take on 1980\u2019s electro-pop tinged with a hint of punk, PRACTICAL LOVERS<\/a><\/strong> add a contemporary edge to a much attempted genre of music and they\u2019re style has been suitably dubbed \u2018heartache and introversion for the bedroom generation.\u2019
\n
\nThe Kings of disjointed math-rock KAPPA GAMMA<\/a><\/strong> also support the madness and mayhem. Pro\u2019s at creating a buzz with their complex and powerful sound, these guys wowed at the DOG IS DEAD <\/a><\/strong> last year finishing in the coveted top spot. Listen to them on the Podcast HERE<\/a>.
\n
\nHowever, amidst the ordered chaos there lie glimmers of serenity in the timeless melodies of HHYNM<\/a><\/strong>. Finely crafting their music over time into a sound that is all of their own, HHYNM<\/a><\/strong> have been showered with praise throughout the local music scene and are tipped as one of the best bands to go and see live. And who\u2019s to argue with the industry brainboxes, eh? Don’t miss out!
\n
\nDOORS: 8pm
\nTICKETS: \u00a34 in advance\/\u00a35 on the door<\/p>\n

Yours In Love of New Music,
\nTom Hadfield and Cerys Owen
