GIG ONE<\/strong>
\n
\nThursday the 24th sees local boys ATTICUS ANTHEM<\/strong><\/a> play their biggest Notts show to date headlining The Bodega Social<\/strong><\/a>. Following the self-release of their first EP back in October, the four-piece will be following this up with a new Limited Edition CD EP on sale for the first time at this show, making it something not to be missed! Lead by the \u2018softly spoken kid with tattoos\u2019 Bjorn Franklin, ATTICUS ANTHEM<\/strong><\/a> have perfected the balance of powerful melodies with anthemic choruses. Throw their nostalgic lyrics of love and loss into the mix and you have a killer combination, the recipe for rock \u2018n\u2019 roll success. To top it off, the boys have also been kind enough to give the first 50 people through the door a free copy of their new CD – who said the best things in life aren\u2019t free?!
\n
\nNotts support comes from the classically trained and seemingly unrestricted vocal range of the stunning LISA DE’VILLE<\/a><\/strong>. Great on record she is even better live, make sure you get there early to catch her!
\n
\nKENWORTHY complete the bill.
\n
\nPRICE: \u00a35 in advance, \u00a36 on the door.
\nDOORS: 7pm
\n
\nGIG TWO<\/b>
\n
\nFriday the 25th of May sees Alea Casino and Outlaw Label Present ROB GREEN, NINA SMITH and INDIANA.<\/strong><\/a>
\n
\nIf you fancy a change of scene from the usual depths of grunginess of your standard gig venues, Alea Casino<\/strong><\/a> is providing a twinge of glamour and is set to be the backdrop to some of the most incredible voices of Nottingham \u2013 this lineup will blow you away, we’ve been looking forward to it for weeks!
\n
\nHeadlining is the bona fide musical entertainer ROB GREEN<\/strong><\/a>. Well known for his charming mannerisms and infectious onstage charisma, Rob is an all-round incredible performer and his catchy upbeat tracks about heartbreak and relationships are destined to be future hits. If you like what you hear and want to delve a bit deeper, watch his Future Session<\/strong> HERE<\/a><\/strong>.
\n
\nNext, NINA SMITH<\/strong><\/a> will warm the cockles of your soul with her delicate and moving melodies. Having supported rising Nottingham stars such as RONIKA<\/strong><\/a> in recent months and taking part in a hip-swinging duet with ROB GREEN<\/strong><\/a> in Market Square, its a clear sign of Nina’s standing in the Notts scene that she has been asked back to play Splendour<\/a><\/strong> this year. With that butter-wouldn\u2019t-melt persona, incredible voice and insanely catchy tunes she is on her way to big things.
\n
\nFirst on the bill (and this will probably be the last time she is first on a line up judging by the speed at which she is conquering the music world) INDIANA<\/strong><\/a> will be taking to the mic. Having recently caused a stir in the nest of local music industry bigwigs (and further afield we’re hearing), this girls beautifully haunting voice has the ability to produce goosebumps on even the most hardened of skins and (if her performance at The Future Sound of Nottingham<\/strong> semi\u2019s was anything to go by,) can render the masses well and truly speechless. Believe the hype \u2013 if you haven\u2019t caught a glimpse of this girl yet sort it out! Not convinced? Check out her jaw-dropping vocals in “Blind As I Am”<\/em> on this Podcast<\/a><\/strong> and then tell us your not amazed.
\n
\nPRICE: \u00a33
\nDOORS: 7.30pm

\nLaunching his FIRST album, TIM MCDONALD<\/a><\/strong> will be performing at The Malt Cross<\/a><\/b> on Friday 25th May, 8pm. \u2018The Bandit, The Rebel and The Man\u2019 album features some incredible and extremely talented musicians such as NATALIE DUNCAN<\/strong><\/a> who is set on releasing her album on Universal soon.
