\n
\nWith comparisons to the likes of folk heroes and heroines JEFF BUCKLEY<\/strong>and JONI MITCHELL<\/strong>, LISA DE\u2019VILLE<\/a><\/strong><\/a>‘s brooding melodies and romanticised lyrics are a beautiful combination and a dark force to be reckoned with.

\n
\nRED BEAR<\/strong><\/a> is the solo project of Adam Clark, aka lead singer of CAPTAIN DANGEROUS<\/strong><\/a>.

\n
\nDEB HAYES + DOM LEE <\/strong> – 8.45
\n
\nAs well as producing beautiful original songs, these two blew the crowd away at the UNDER THE TREE<\/a><\/strong> launch night with covers of popular classics. Perfect way to continue the warm-up!

\nA regular at local venues The Golden Fleece<\/strong><\/a> and The Maze<\/strong><\/a>, grungy beatboxer LEE TABIX<\/a><\/strong> is set to blow your mind with his incredible array of vocal capabilities. Having stormed Acoustic Rooms<\/strong><\/a> at the Rescue Rooms<\/strong><\/a> last week with clever modern mashups, LEE TABIX<\/a><\/strong> isn\u2019t afraid to work up a crowd and you\u2019ll no doubt be incapable of standing still to this pro\u2019s infectious beats.
\n
\nFRAZER LOWRIE<\/a><\/strong> – 10.00.
\n
\nSteadily climbing his way up the gig ladder, FRAZER LOWRIE<\/a><\/strong> is making a name for himself on the Notts acoustic scene with his give-it-all-or-nothing approach to performing, proving that for an electrifying set all you need is a bit of gusto (although a powerful voice and effortless charisma obviously help). If you haven\u2019t heard this guy before check him out – his catchy upbeat tracks are bound to win you over! Our first attempt at a Future Session<\/strong> went a little bit tits up, so look forward to round two coming to a screen near you!
\n
\nWILL JEFFERY<\/a><\/strong> – 10.45.
\n
\nIf you like your ready-made folk served with dollops of \u2018smokey shambolic vocals\u2019, then verteran gigger WILL JEFFERY<\/a><\/strong> is the order of the day for you. Backed by his backing band THE WILD GENTRY<\/strong>, Jeffery\u2019s live performances are a sight to behold and a treat to the ears.
\n
\nGEORGIE ROSE<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 11.00.
\n
\nHaving stunned many a crowd into awed silence recently with her beautiful LAURA MARLING<\/strong>-esque vocals and slick guitar skills, GEORGIE ROSE<\/a><\/strong> is steadily making her voice heard on the Notts acoustic scene with regular appearances at gig hotspots The Maze<\/strong><\/a> and Acoustic Rooms<\/strong><\/a>. At only 17, this talented folk songstress may be young but embodies a wealth of talent that is exquisitely executed on stage. Watch her Future Session<\/strong> HERE<\/strong><\/a>.

\nGIG THREE<\/strong>

\nOn June 30th, our lad KURT MARTINEZ<\/a><\/strong> returns to Rescue Rooms<\/strong><\/a> to play his only home show this summer. Having been described as \u2018electro\u2019s answer to Mcfly<\/strong>\u2019, his synth-pop and dance-floor friendly tunes will raise your spirits and get you groovin\u2019. Blending all the fun and energy of power-pop with the beats of electro mark KURT MARTINEZ<\/a><\/strong> is something special, and following the release of his acclaimed debut album \u2018The Idiot\u2019s Guide to Breaking Hearts\u2019<\/em> last year and his triumphant set at 2011\u2019s Future Sound of Nottingham<\/strong><\/a> final, it seems the sky\u2019s the limit for 2012.

\nTo further the hype of this gig, support comes from the charismatic SAINT RAYMOND<\/a><\/strong>. Just one man, his guitar and bags of talent, SAINT RAYMOND’s<\/a><\/strong> acoustic indie pop is simply compelling.

\nSo if electro pop rock and silky vocals are your kind of thang, then bop on down to the Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong> on the 30th, two cracking artists for the low low low price of \u00a35.
\n

\nPRICE: \u00a35
\nDOORS: 7pm
\n
\nYours in Love of New Music,
