The Nottingham music scene never sleeps, and yet again this week, we have another three amazing gigs for you. This week sees three very eclectic lineups over three different venues.
GIG ONE
First up on this week’s Top Three we have a mix of Indie bands at The Maze on Tuesday , thanks to Boombox Promotions.
Kicking off the night are THE SILHOUETTES whose upbeat blend of Indie and Ska always gets a crowd up and dancing. The four-piece have been gigging all over the place and have won over plenty of new fans recently, and we’re sure they’ll win you over too.
Those of you who have heard ALASKAN FACTION on our recent New Music Podcast, will know that they have some incredibly catchy melodies and guitar riffs that you can look forward to. It’s also a great chance to see them before they take a short hiatus due to exams, so make sure to get down and support!
HUSKIES are next on the lineup with their laid back Surf-Pop, which is sure to get you in that Summer mood! They recently made it into NME’s Radar section, and they’re generating quite a bit of buzz, so make sure you see these guys in action before they hit the big time!
Get Cubs from Burton-On-Trent will also be playing.
Doors: 7PM
Price: £4
GIG TWO
LOOK! THE MOON!! sees several great Nottingham acts at The Orange Tree this Wednesday thanks to I’m Not From London.
Three Nottingham acts will be performing a variety of music styles starting with BLESSING MAGORE’s Zimbabwean inspired Reggae-Funk. With a very unique sound, and some very catchy choruses, this guy always puts a smile on our faces, and we’re sure he’ll do the same for you too.
Next up are the huge Electro-Pop sounds of APRIL TOWERS. The duo have created a lot of buzz on the local scene recently, and thanks to their soaring choruses and energetic performances, the duo are already making a name for themselves as an incredible live act! Get down, enjoy, and make sure to keep an eye out for their Future Session that comes out this Monday!
BIG RHINO will be rounding off the night with their interesting breed of ”Gypsy Pop Rock”. With some incredibly catchy melodies, and cheeky lyrics such as “let’s go, down to Tesco”, these boys will have you singing some ridiculous things, but, you won’t mind, cause they’re so bloody catchy!
Doors: 8:15PM
Price: Free
GIG THREE
Finally on Friday we have ONE BOMB, JONNY GRISTLE and JIALLO all at Jam Café thanks to Farmyard.
Starting the night is JIALLO, an incredible Jazz band, who blur the lines between Hip Hop, Soul and Funk to create something very special. They’ll be joined by a guest vocalist, who’s being kept a surprise for now, but considering their high standard for collaborations (which has recently included the liked of BRU-C and MOTORMOUF) we’re sure they’ll be a great addition!
A band known as JONNY GRISTLE are up next; and they’re a rather mysterious bunch, who, despite our deep journalistic endeavours, we couldn’t find much on. The promoters have told us they’re a new project from some familiar Notts faces, who make Dubstep and Drum & Bass with a live band. We look forward to seeing what these guys have to offer.
Headlining the night are ONE BOMB, who will be delivering one of their explosive live sets as well as a DJ set. Teaming up with their live band, they’ll be putting on one incredible performance, that we’re sure will get you going crazy. They recently made it onto the Radio One playlist, and we see very big things for them in the future, so make sure to get on down and experience them in this intimate venue while you can.
Doors: 9PM
Price: Free
