EP launches, headline shows, plus a non-wanky version of the X-Factor, what more can ya ask for? x
FRIDAY
BEN MARK SMITH is launching his debut EP this week, and to celebrate he’s throwing a lil shindig down at The Running Horse with two ace supports. First up is the giggity gigger that is GEORGE GADD. Serious – this guy took a holiday a few weeks ago, and still somehow seems to have played more gigs than anyone else in Notts this past month. Respect G, respect. And then there’s PRETTY BABS – who, yes, will be delivering a full band set to get your energy amped right the fuck up. Then there’s Ben – a genius singer-songwriter. Telling tales of things that every human can relate to, and wrapping them all up in a bunch of beaut finger picked goodness.

SATURDAY
DISTANT BLUE are absolutely bossing the Pop-Punk game right now. Putting on killer show after killer show, and releasing anthemic mosh-tastic banger after banger. So, what better way to celebrate their progressive awesomeness than a headliner at The Bodega? That’s what they’re doing this Saturday w/ Ike Productions, and it’s shaping up to be well tasty.
Then there’s SUPER FURNITURE – a band that are bloody hard to describe – but very good at making heavy bops with very catchy melodies. And, have we ever mentioned how good they are at rocking out. Hair flicks on demand. Beautiful.
The Honeymoon Suite from Derby are also supporting.

SUNDAY
Notts Factor – the annual event that brings a bunch of Notts’ finest across the genres together at Rescue Rooms is back this Sunday. All competing for some mega prizes (including 500 squid)!! The lineup isn’t actually out yet (announced on Tuesday), but based on the previous years’ killer lineups – we’re sure it’s gonna be a banger. Plus, there is a guest appearance from last years winner – the stunning acoustic sounds of KELSEY SHAW, so there’s a guarantee you’re gonna have something lovely for your ears. Plus its free. And what else do you do on a Sunday, ay?
