We’ve got a bit of a mix for you this week Comrades!
On Wednesday at The Maze we’ve got a big, local metal gig.
Firstly we have SYSTEMATIC KILLING MACHINE. Expect plenty of
headbanging and windmilling when these guys take to the stage. Despite
the name, these chaps seem very playful and you’ll definitely be in
for some entertainment.
Keeping the happy vibes going will be DIRTY BEARD who have found a
joyful medium between metal and blues. They mix catchy riffs with slow
rock beats. Don’t miss these!
WAY OF THE ATOM are up next. These guys would be star pupils in an
‘How to Make a Great Rock Crescendo’ class. They tease you in with
pretty riffs then suddenly attack you with waves of crafted noise. I’m
looking forward to these.
A band from Stoke DEVIL DOWN will be on next, but we don’t like Stoke
as much as we like Nottingham so we’ll move on.
On next are INTO RUINS and they are LOUD. There will certainly be some
mosh pits started up in the Maze when these guys start to play. You
can’t help but move to their ridiculously fast songs.
The final act to shake up the Maze are IMPERIAL CIRCUS. They sound
like a heavier version of a Dave Grohl-fronted Red Hot Chili Peppers.
There will be air guitars and power stances all round when they start
to play their alternative take to metal.
Doors: 7pm
Tickets: £3
Next on Thursday (28th) we have Acoustickle at Alley Café.
As always this promises to be a night of chill time, in a bubbly
atmosphere with some really talented, acoustic Notts artists.
BEN WAGNER from BREADCHASERS, a great Notts ska band, will be playing
with perhaps even a beatboxer to mix things up. Don’t miss this
versatile man.
Keeping the entertainment fresh, THE MAFFA KINGS, who are known to be
an alternative, psychedelic rock band will be turning the tempo down
on their tunes to keep the theme acoustic.
CRS’s very own LEE GOUGH has got one hell of a voice on him, make sure
you grab his set and be prepared to be blown away.
And ROSANNA O’BRIEN may be young and relatively new to the Notts music
scene, but she’s not shy. Having played her very first gig at the
Valentine’s Acoustickle with a huge crowd to see her play, it’s nice
to see her back and raring to go.
Doors: 7.30pm
Tickets: FREE!
And finally, again on Thursday (28th) Farmyard Records brings you
Acoustic Sessions at The Golden Fleece.
GALLERY 47 will be playing this one, and he’s really not someone you
can justify missing if you haven’t seen him play live before (or even
if you have). Having played T In The Park and Splendour this summer
and with great reception, he’s back in town ready to bring you some
gorgeous acoustic. How he sings so elegantly and plucks his guitar so
quickly at the same time baffles me.

Tickets: FREE!
