Indie/Rock N Rollers GREAT BRITISH WEATHER will produce heavy basslines and catchy guitar riffs guaranteed to get you out your seats and bopping along.

On the same night we have THE FILAMENTS, BREADCHASERS and JIM LOCKEY & THE SOLEMN SUN at THE MAZE on Friday the 17th of February.
BREADCHASERS are Nottingham’s ska-party explosion! Attracting skankers to the front of the stage like tramps to chips since 2009. Enough energy to spark a riot, this 6 piece are unmissable.

GIG THREE
Finally we have Half Term Metal @ THE MAZE with SEVERED, SHRAPNEL, PULL THE TRIGGER, DELIVER US TO EVIL and KICK THE RABBIT on Sunday the 19th of February.
Headliners SEVERED are fuelled by the frustration towards generic music and stereotypical images. The band sets to break out and rise above the lack of experimentation that is within the UK’s music scene. Influenced by the likes of SLIPKNOT and LIMP BIZKIT this lot stick a middle finger up to the system.
PULL THE TRIGGER make some serious metal noises. Fast paced and gloriously terrifying, dive into the mosh pits and hope you come out alive.
DELIVER US TO EVIL serve up some delicious old-school thrash metal and execute it with style. Moshing is a requirement.
KICK THE RABBIT’s mission is to rape angels, eat bacon and party on they’re way to kicking many many rabbits. Confused and slightly scared? Me too. Go check them out…unless you are a rabbit.
DOORS:7:00pm
TICKETS: £3 adv £4 otd
