\n\"\"<\/a>
\nNever short of a funky beat or two, Sounddhism<\/a><\/b> has decided to go all out and give you not one, but two nights of incredible live music from the freshest local talent around.
\n
\nAfter starting out as a rookie bedroom acoustic duo back in November 2011, things have taken off in leaps and bounds for these lads CHESHIRE AND THE CAT<\/a><\/b>. The inspired beats and clever lyrics that make up their \u20182tone alternative acoustic\u2019 sound are refreshing and fun, much like their live performances which are infused with witty charm. Check out their Nusic Future Session <\/strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.
\n
\nAlso on the 5th for a double whammy of acoustic talent, LOUIS SCOTT<\/a><\/b> is taking to the stage. Layering a raw soulful sound with spellbinding lyrics and bearing an undeniably charismatic stage presence, this budding soulful solo artist will enchant you from start to finish.
\n
\nPRICE: \u00a36 advance\/\u00a37 cheap list\/\u00a38 OTD\/\u00a332 combined Sounddism & Detonate Indoor fest tickets
\nDOORS: 9pm
\n
\nNext up as part of the Detonate Indoor Fest<\/strong><\/a> we have Sounddhism<\/a><\/strong> taking over the Rescue Room’s <\/a><\/strong>Red Room with a selection of local talent including the First Lady of soul HARLEIGHBLU<\/a><\/b>. Upping the groove stakes and performing with her full live band, HARLEIGHBLU’s<\/a><\/b> sultry vocals and dirty percussive rhythms will blow you away. With an EP release and debut album on the horizon, expect to see a lot more from this sensational songstress.
\n
\nAdding to the upbeat vibes are funk\/soul powerhouse WE ARE AVENGERS<\/a><\/b>. Combining tight vocals with slick electronic wizardry, these guys are ready to show off some new material from their forthcoming album and are ready to raise the Red Room roof. Quality stuff!
\n
\nPRICE: standard tickets \u00a330\/remaining tickets \u00a335
\nDOORS: 9pm
\n
\nGIG THREE<\/strong>
\n
\nIf you\u2019re looking for something a bit special this bank holiday weekend, then get yourself down to The Maze<\/a><\/b> on May 5th. Celebrating their 15th birthday<\/a>, The Maze<\/a><\/strong> have teamed up with the maniacs from I\u2019m Not from London<\/a> <\/strong>and our big brother Leftlion<\/a><\/strong> to bring you a jam-packed night of some of Nottingham\u2019s finest.
\n
\nHaving been described as \u2018The Specials on crack\u2019, 25 PAST THE SKANK<\/a><\/b> provide big tunes and bigger beats. With an aim to incorporate all styles of dance floor destroying genres into their music, these boys are one of the most exciting and unique bands on the scene and will have you dancing in no time.
\n

\nBringing a much needed nautical flavour to the evening are SEA OF MIRTH<\/a><\/strong>. With glue on beards and sea shanties to boot, these land pirates have been given the somewhat distinctive description of THE POGUES<\/b> getting MUMFORD AND SONS<\/b> in a headlock, whilst FLOGGING MOLLY<\/b> steals their lunch money and GRANDMASTER FLASH<\/b> kicks them in the shins. Be prepared to sing, dance and laugh with this group, and quite possibly get involved in a crowd tug-o-war. No, seriously.
\n
\nTHE AUSTIN FRANCIS COLLECTION<\/strong><\/a> are next up on the bill. Following the release of their 2011 album, “The Album”, the trio are back with their honest, observational lyrics to make you smile. Armed with only a guitar and a beat-boxer called HOBBIT<\/strong>, The AFC<\/a><\/strong> (not Arsenal Football Club) play their own brand of acoustic hip-hop making them one of the most interesting bands around.
\n
\nLast but by no means least are JUST JAMES<\/a><\/strong>. A melting pot of different genres fused together by heavy Drum n Bass undertones, the band provide dance music with a raw edge and emit an almost tangible energy when on stage. Undeniably catchy and unashamedly fun, JUST JAMES<\/a><\/strong> are a spectacle not to be missed. Watch our Future Session <\/strong>with them HERE<\/a><\/strong>.
\n
\nSo get yourself to this organic Nottingham music extravaganza, and remember; entry is only \u00a34 if you\u2019re in fancy dress!
\n
\nPRICE: \u00a35 normal entry\/\u00a34 fancy dress
\nDOORS: 8pm
\n
\nYours In Love of New Music,
\nTom Hadfield, Cerys Owen and Maddie Hammond x
